Day 5

Today I had a student, who had been in class all week, give me a fake name.  So, I questioned him.  He repeated the name.  I said, You're not on the list.  He said I was yesterday.  I said, I know and it is the same list.  Then, he started smiling.  I closed his notebook and saw his real name and won't ever forget it.  It also showed me that I was doing something right.  My student wanted to trick me and laugh with me.  Only one other student heard the conversation!  That's the kind of teacher/student relationship that I like!  #6

At the end of the instructional class period I asked the students to share the concepts discussed today.  I was looking for the 4 main points.  I got the 4 main points PLUS about 8 other ideas that were mentioned.  Yeah!  #15

At our first day of embedded collaboration, Cathy and I discussed changing our focus for RAO this semester.  We will now focus on the Trig related ACT questions in RAO with those students who need to increase their math subs core in order to be eligible for TCC online college algebra in the fall.  We started analyzing ACT objectives to identify where to start.  #19
