It hurts to watch...

Daily Oral Language



Phonics

SUMMARY
Today I continued transitioning the students to Reading workshop, Guided Reading, Daily Routine, and Bible.  Mr. Pacer said I am doing well.  He reminded me to make sure the students justify their answers when I call on them for an answer during whole class instruction.  I tried to make a point to do that during the Daily Oral Language portion of the Daily Routine Block.  I set up my iPhone on the book case while I was teaching Daily Oral Language so I can see how I come across to the students.  It was excruciating for me to watch.  I look funny, I walk funny, I talk funny.  I couldn't make myself watch the entire thing.  I just posted a little portion of each lesson.

INSIGHT
It is amazing how much the students react differently to different teachers.  With Mr. Pacer the student are more calm, respectful, and quiet.  With me the students are not bad, they are just a little more animated and noisier.  I think they tend to take on the mood of the teacher.  I have way too much energy and Mr. Pacer is patient.  I think the students sense these traits.
