Day3--Morning

Describe your teaching.

My teaching style is still being developed--I have just successfully finished my first year of teaching!!! I do tend to lecture at times, I used PowerPoint a lot, and we read out of the book. We use worksheets (and coloring sheets) and play 'jeopardy' and 'baseball' to review. I use the computer lab, though not as much as I'd like to or should. There are so many resources out there! I also use videos. I hope that I teach effectively--most of my students do well on my tests if they do the work and put some effort into it. I'm not sure how they did on the science EOG--we haven't gotten scores as of yet. I hope they did well. I do have some bugs to get worked out, but I'm sure that's normal! I enjoy doing hands on things with the kids--we did many experiments early on in the year while we were talking about scientific inquiry, and before we had to panic at the approaching EOGs. I took them on a beach trip to Beaufort for two days in the Spring--we had fun and they learned many things, whether they knew it or not!! I hope to teach a little more effectively in the upcoming year and have a great hope that things will go a bit more smoothly.
