Reflection 3

This week was great.  I was able to read from the Gong book and to visit Vista Heights Jr. High School and watch Scott Bartholomew teach his class.  He did a wonder job at teaching the class.  He stated with a bell work activity then he moved on to instuction.  He talked about progaming lego robots.  He then turned the class over to their lego robot assignment.  The students were all in groups and had to complete a list of challenges that he had designed.  I really enjoyed walking around and helping the kids out and seeing what they were doing.  Scott also had us pass off kids when they would complete an assignment.  He really challenged the kids to do their best and they seemed to enjoy learning.  At the end of class he played a game with the kids so that they could clean up quickly and wait for the bell.  The FED form was a little confusing and I didn't really get the point of  it but we did it.  I really got a nice idea of what it will feel like to be a teacher.  I can't wait to see how this Jr. High will compare with the one this week. It was a great week.
