I am so happy I was able to take attendance again, I noticed that I can literally set the tone through my energy when greeting and taking morning attendance. I truly enjoy assisting through GoGuardian, this allows me to connect w/ the students individually, I am grateful that the students are receptive of me. One other thing, I am noticing that the students are initiating interaction w/ me, this is critical and very pertinent to me growing to know them to better reach them. I have to admit, connecting virtually w/ children can be sort of intricate, so I keep a close eye on how my MT connects with the 3rd graders in her class- she does a very fine job with delegation of her attention to them.
Jarrell I am happy to hear how well your class is going! I like that you take attendance in the morning -- what a great way to build rapport and set the tone for the day. You are right, pacing is very important -- particularly in the remote setting. Keeping the students engaged can be a challenge, so it's important to "read the room" so to speak, and be aware of moments when everyone can benefit from a pause or a back and forth discussion.
ReplyDeleteHey Jarrell, I am glad you learning ways for you to handle and adjust to the remote learning. Yesterday was definitely a fast pace day and my students were excited for the 1/2 day as well. I am glad you are getting more comfortable with the class and students. :)
ReplyDeleteHello Jarrell,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your classroom experience is giving you plenty of experience. Thursday was a bit hectic scheduled. The students seem to be a bit distracted with the idea of half a day. They were eager to finish school earlier, hence did not pay attention. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
