Jess - Chapter 3 and running records
Ok, so this week I got to do maybe 3 running records. Out of the 3 that I read with, I found 2 that I would like to read with again. Hopefully I will get the chance.
I really like our text for this semester. I have found a lot of useful ideas that I would like to try in my classroom.
"How I set up my classroom, the way I organize my day, and the materials I provide can either 'make or break' my efforts to work effectively with children" This statement is so true. How much of a teacher's time is spent looking for their materials? How many teachers stumble over legs of chairs trying to get to their students? I was in a classroom last semester where the teacher was never sure of where she put stuff. She used a lot of time looking for worksheets she was having the students do or reading assessments that she needed done. The way the class was set up was not easy to navigate. The students were close together and hard to get too. The class I am in this semester is not that bad. In fact, this very book is on her bookshelf. Whether she read it or not is a different story. I do not think that I will have this problem in my classroom. I cannot function if I am not organized. I just feel lost. I do not know if I would do away with the chairs or desks, depends on the grade, but I do like the ideas she puts forth in this chapter. This looks like a book that I will be keeping for future reference.

I know exactly what you mean Jess. I hate having to find a pathway that I can fit in to get to a student. I don't really like when my teacher has me look for stuff she's not even sure is there. But I'm afraid that might be me someday. If I compare my bedroom to how my classroom might be one day...then it's a very scary thought. My bedroom is one thing I can't seem to get in order. I just hope that I can get my classroom organized from the start and keep it that way.
