As teachers you stand upon the highest peak in education, for what teaching can compare in priceless value and in far-reaching effect with that which deals with man as he was in the eternity of yesterday, as he is in the mortality of today, and as he will be in the forever of tomorrow. Not only time but eternity is your field

We've got talent!

Today was the talent show so we were practicing for that most of the day. In fact, the main lesson of the day was my math lesson. I am glad to say it was much better than yesterday! I am much more comfortable with planning a direct instruction lesson so my lesson was much better today. I was teaching the students about scaling and how they could tell if a number would be bigger or smaller based on the size that you are multiplying by. The students understood the concept of scaling but they struggled to draw each example. After my math lesson we went back to practice for the talent show. I was backstage helping the stage crew with their parts. I have never been in charge of the stage before so it was quite the experience.

I came back to the school in the evening to help with the talent show and it was so much fun! It was amazing to me to see the support that the students had for their classmates and the talents that everyone decided to share. I learned so much about my students by participating in this talent show with them. I am glad that my schedule allowed me to attend...
