X. Coop’s Comments:
I went around the tables to review information as the students worked
on the task given to them. I was able to help guide students along while I
was asking questions.
I still need to keep track of pacing I am going to fast, maybe need to use
a timer for the next lesson.
I can’t forget that when I am losing focus with the students I should do a
brain break.
The demonstrating of how to say the Pledge went really well, and having
a student leader went successful too.
Need to brainstorm more of what to do with management.
