7th Visit: 11/8/07

Today the teacher was giving the students a Math test. The test had to do with number placement and adding and subtracting. Ms.Chippis explained the format of the test to her students. The way that they have been taught in class is the way they should be doing it, by breaking down the problem into 100s and 10s and 1s. They took about an hour to complete the test. At first, Ms.Chippis planned to conclude the day by reading a book to the class. Instead, they just did silent reading by themselves until the end of class. As a volunteer, there really wasn’t that much for me to do. The other volunteer that showed up the other weeks also came again today. I feel more comfortable with another person there also helping. Though, today there really wasn’t a reason for me to be there. I spent most of my time daydreaming about myself as a teacher with my own class. Anyway, I also handed in my Dispositions form for Ms.Chippis to fill out so I can put it into my teaching folder that I will be passing in soon. Hopefully, I will get it back next week when I am back at the school.
