Busy Day (April 29, 2014)

Another hot day! Since we were short on staff and the day was pretty hot, we stayed inside the classroom. First, we completed homework. Ms. Ann and Mayra were absent so I was in charge of the homework table and Teacher Helena was in charge of the other stuff. I had around six kids in my table. The usual ones finished their homework pretty quickly, but the other ones were not. I find that younger students have problem with focusing and completing their work. It takes longer for those who keep chatting. I was doing homework with my students for about an  hour.
After, we played with the chalk board! I thought it would be a good idea to put incorporate some math, therefore, I wrote some sum problems and my students had to answer them. Some had trouble, while others didn't. They seem to have fun, they tried competing with each other to see who was faster at solving the equations. On the bad side, the table got really dirty so we had to clean the stains.
I walked around the classroom to see what everyone was doing. Some were using the computers, while others played with Legos. All of them were in task, which was good because Ms. Ann would've been very proud of them. Later, Mayra arrived and took over Ceci, another teacher, since another class needed staff. Since the girls are closer to me, they always ask me to play with them. Therefore, I played board games for another hour. It was so fun, I enjoy spending time with my students.
