Entry 2

Today I started working with my 5th grade class. The teacher is Ms. L. The students are a delight.

We work on math in the morning and then move into reading.

The classroom itself is dirty. The floor is dirty. The desks need washing.

There are three computers in the room. There is a dedicated printer as well.

Basically I tried to be an extension of the teacher. I walked around to all the desks and helped the students. I'm learning some of the teaching methods used in the classroom such as "BCR" - Brief Constructive Response.

The class is getting ready for a state-wide test on english and math. This is the focus of our work right now.
