I have done quite a bit of preparation for the kids lessons while observing. It really has made me realize what kind of extra time the teacher has to put in to make her lessons entertaining and educational. Whether it's been cutting papers for a craft they are doing later in the day, or inserting a page into their homework files, it all needs to get done in order for the students to succeed.
Another thing that the teacher has been working on is placing the kids into separate reading groups based on their reading level and comprehension. This is something she is having difficulty with because the kids are so diverse in their learning at this point. These past couple weeks she's been trying to get them caught up and grouped together so that they can read together easily. She's going to allow me to work with one of these groups individually which is something I am looking forward to because I will get some focused interaction with the kids.
