Mylan Park Elementary Week 6

I felt that this week at Mylan was very successful and informative. I am very pleased with what all got accomplished. I was observed twice and believe that both went very well. I was observed while teaching math, which is when I conduct my action research, so I was very anxious to see what she thought. She was very pleased with the good relationships I have with my students and how well I know them. She also noted how I knew what questions to ask and who to ask them to. She also mentioned that this approach I am taking with my students seems to really be working with them and keeping them engaged. I am happy with how well my action research is going and feel as though I got a lot out of it this past week. This week, we learned a little bit about our bodies. We labeled external body parts, learned about our bones, and their all time favorite learned a skeleton dance and song. The students loved having music in the classroom, and I was very excited to see how well they took to singing and dancing. I had the students put together paper plate skeletons which they will be completing with organs and muscles next week. This week I learned a little more about contract hours. I became familiar with what is wanted at Mylan and am trying to sort through when and where to spend my hours. I am really looking forward to next week and how my action research will progress and the continuing with our bodies unit.
