Class 5

I always enjoy coming to this class, there is so much to learn and so many ideas to use in my future class and I love that! I thought the comment you made about getting frazzled because the other teacher was doing a million and one things in the time it took you to do one was funny because that's how I feel. I get so nervous sometimes because I'm learning so many new things and its very overwhelming! Its true I will have to keep in mind that when I'm a first year teacher there will be other teachers who have taught for years whom I will want to be as good as/better than, but the fact is that practice makes perfect, so I will have to keep that in mind!

I really like the red/green/yellow writing format you use. I thought it was very creative and will definitely be using it in my classroom.

Also, Thank you for the ideas for mini-lessons. I always think of side ideas to incorporate into my lessons but i never realized they could become a separate mini-lesson in themselves. Now I realize just how important they are to the lesson as a whole.
