teachin

Friday Teacher Magrate (2nd grade) was sick…so I was on…oh dear. But it went well I think. Not as quick as when she teaches but then she is a bit more prepared…or at least knows what is coming…I didn’t hear until I got to school…no warning. But we did adding three two-digit numbers…by going shopping and adding up the receipt. Had a spelling test. Did some reading. Made it through the day without losing too much (I think). They are doing so well according to what I see from when I was teaching—listening, following directions, and even understanding.
The next Thursday Teacher Sandra (1st grade)was sick. On again. But math was counting and sorting things into groups of 10—we used pieces of maize (corn) which are easy to get a lot of…along with the regular counting—by 10’s, 5’s, 2’s, etc. there are 21 kids in this class…much bigger than I am used to or feel that I can handle but the morning went well and they really do listen pretty well…
