January 28th - February 3rd Question of the Week

January 28th - February 3rd-- Of everything you did last week as a teacher, what would you do differently? Why?

I think that last week was quite a challenge in that I wore many hats within one day. On Friday I was 4 different teachers therefore, I wasn't able to absorb myself in one particular lesson. On Wednesday, I was a language arts teacher and was able to engage the students with a personal story. I found that students really enjoy it when you share personal stories about your life experiences with them. Of course, it was school related dating back to my college years.

Overall, last week went well in spite of having a sick child at home and missing 2 days. I would have preferred working in one classroom all day instead of floating around so much. In terms of doing things differently, I really didn't change from the way I conduct myself in class because I believe that you should remain consistent with your teaching style if it is beneficial for you.
