I’m really proud of this student’s exit ticket – we’ve been working a lot on comprehension with word problems and learning how to describe what we did to solve the problem. Also, I think it’s flat out adorable that they wrote “but wait, how can I do the next one.”
School went a bit better today. I’ve been working on giving more direct instructions and making sure to use MVP directions, but I still have a lot of work to do in following through on those directions. I need to work on actually giving out consequences when students don’t follow directions, for instance. Still, I’m feeling pretty good about the level of progress I’ve made during Institute, so far.
It feels like Institute has gone by so quickly – we only have four days of school left! We start doing testing tomorrow, so we’ll be able to see how much progress our students have made over the summer soon enough.
