Last Thursday I was supposed to teach my first lesson. Last Thursday I had to call off of school because I was sick. I was very upset and I felt like I was letting my co-op down. I've always hated missing school as a student and it is no different as a teacher. I spent part of the day communicating with my co-op and figuring out the new plan. She was very understanding and accommodating. She realized there were some previous miscellaneous activities from social studies that needed completed and she was able to spend the time on Thursday getting everyone caught up. My lesson is moved to this coming Thursday now.
The book fair started today! It will be set up all week in the library. Since today was the first day each teacher took up their entire class to browse and make a wishlist. I'm not going to lie, I think I enjoyed exploring all of the books just as much as the kids did. I got so excited thinking about my future classroom library. Like the students, I even wrote down my own list of books that I'll want to buy eventually. Tomorrow students will likely begin to bring money into school to make purchases during the school day. I think it is great for students to get excited about reading and book fairs definitely seem like an effective way to accomplish that.
