My time at Beach Court today began with me meeting with Frank to tie up some loose ends around the data for my OD. He was able to provide me with all of the missing data and some good details to add to my budget analysis and systems selections. We also sat in to do an evaluation on a first grade ELA-S teacher. She demonstrated some really strong practices and quite amazing CM. I typically judge primary grade ELA-S classrooms by how comprehensible the lesson and intended learnings are to me a minimally competent Spanish speaker. In this case I now know the “how-to” process for making plastilina=play-doh J. I also subbed for an hour in the ¾ classroom to allow the teacher to go over and work out the details for the changes that will occur from our data meeting on Monday. I really enjoyed teaching the poetry lesson, one of my instructional favorite topics (although I pretty much detest poetry recreationally) because it allows the kids to really think differently. The lesson was well planned and the students did a good job.
