9/10



Today is our final day observing in the classrooms that we chose and then tomorrow we will start teaching.  As I mentioned, I will be teaching in a P1 classroom.  While at school today I received the books that I will teach from.  I have 8 English units to teach and 10 math units to teach while I am here.  The first English unit I will teach will be Times of the Day, so students will be learning the vocabulary morning, evening, afternoon, and night, as well as the days of the week.  In math, I will start by teaching about bar graphs.  So while observing today I was brainstorming some lesson plan ideas. 

After school we went to the Market to get some food for the week and then we picked up the skirts that we had made out of the beautiful fabric we bought.  The skirts turned out perfectly and so did the headbands.  I don’t have a picture of me in my skirt yet, but I will take one and post it at some point.  Then as soon as we got home we spent the remainder of the night planning for our lessons.  Enoch has asked us to write out full lesson plans for each lesson we teach.  This turns out being a lot of work, but as I have found out it is also very helpful once it comes time to teach the lessons.  We also have to make anything we want to use in a lesson.  So I was busy making posters and anchor charts for my lessons.  I also made name-tags for my students so I can start calling my students by name right away.
