Being avid in a world of failing morals is a challenge. Being an angel in spite of internal devilish desires is arduous. Being both avid and an angel; that takes skill.

Student Teaching Day 15
I have had a lot of fun with the students in the past week!
It's been great to get to know their names and see them learning!
Now I'm over the winter blues and ready for spring.
Stay tuned! Feel free to post your comments below!
Glad it's going well. Suggestions: 1) for the 20% girl, tell her you'd like to give her a private tutoring session to help her. Suggest a day. If she can't make it, ask when she can commit to coming in. You'll be surprised how she responds to one-on-one that you offered personally to her. 2) To get more students into the lab on their free time, offer them 1 and a half times more points (or dollars) for bringing a friend. Your numbers will increase and both of them will be rewarded! (With the cooperating teacher's approval, of course.) You could offer it on a trial basis for three days only and see if it increases the walk-ins. The idea here is that you're using their sense of community to encourage each other and develop teamwork. That's professionalism!
Suggestions 3) For those students who finish the task and wait, show them how to open 2 screens at the same time. For the 2nd screen, give them a professional learning task that they must do that hour only. It could be a reflection about how to use the skill you're working on. Or it could be something creative -- like find a picture, attach quotation bubbles and make a cartoon for this skills lesson or a professionalism concept.

@ Welcome Baby: Hahah, yeah, I didn't like it last week. And now I'm feeling a lot better about it!
Thank you @Planet Janet! I will try your suggestions! :)
