first off i just wanted to thank effie, and miss mckay (sp?) for hosting the co-teaching session today. i was really exciting and informative to see how someone else handles not only a 3 part lesson, and a math lesson. but also how another midtowner handles the students in the classroom.
i must say that as weird as having an extra 6 adults/teachers in a room must have been for the students, they participated extremely well. they seemed engaged and responded to the activities and style of lesson in a really focused and excited way. i was also glad to see the math posters on the walls for all the extra ideas i got for my lessons over the next week.
the only thing that i found incredibly difficult was to not say anything to the students while they were working on their math problems even though they were getting confused and arguing.
my highlight however was how one of the students made fun of me and praised effie bc she was a teacher before i was!
i'll wrap-up by saying thanks once again for having us.
-mike
