Jess' Reflection - Graves- Ch.3

What I noticed more in this chapter was the memory attempt. At this moment I can tell you all of my students' first name. Their last names, I cannot remember mostly because I cannot pronounce them. When I was reading over this section, I quickly tried to run down the middle list for each student to see what I could come up with. I have learned a little bit about each one to be able to put something on paper. I found it amazing that some teachers cannot remember their students' names. To me, that is one of the most important things for a teacher to do. As a student, it would make me feel important to know that my teacher knows my name. I would not feel very good about my self if she didn't know my name. Note to self: make sure I learn all my students' name even if it is their first name!
