Monday

Today is my first day of student teaching. The teacher I will be working with for these

Fifteen weeks is Mrs. Emma Ware. She is a very serious and helpful lady. There are

seven students in her classroom. This is a multi-leveled Special Education

Developmentally Delayed primary class. I love working with students at this age. I know

how important this age is for learning. I am so excited about working with Mrs. Ware

because she has been teaching now for twenty-eight years in Special Education.

School started at 7:30. Some students come to school before this time. They eat breakfast in the cafeteria and then remain there until 7:30. All students are offered free

meals at McNeal. After the students arrive in their classroom at 7:30, they begin their day by putting their things away, going to the bathroom, and getting out materials needed for instruction time. As student come in they may get a book of choice or write spelling words. All teachers are asked to be at school at or before 7:30. The bus duty team is asked to be at school at 7:00 to receive the students that arrive early. At 8:00 all over the school is a moment of silence; During this time everybody stops whatever they are doing and just stand. No conversation, no walking, no playing, no movement over the entire school. At 8:00 the teacher began to teach. Mrs. Wear starts out by saying the pledge, the McNeal school creed, the rules, the character word for the month, and the letter and sound chant. The next thing is the morning announcements given by the principal Mrs. Wade.

Mrs. Ware starts the Every day Count board activities after the Morning announcements. This activity calls to attention the days of the week, months of the year,

Weather, seasons, time, money, number, facts count, and morning message. At this time student go into centers for Writing, Reading Language, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, and And Listening centers. The students rotate in these centers. At 10:25 the students go lunch.

When lunch is finished the student go to bathroom and rest for five minutes listening to a story, then go back into the centers. Mondays at 12:45 they go to the Library for 30

minutes. On Tuesday the Students go to Humanities, On Wednesday the students go to

the Library. On Thursday the students go to the Computer Lab. On Friday the students go to P.E. for 30 minutes. After the Electives schedule the student return to the classroom for

Math and science. At 1:50 to 2:05 the entire school is in an activity called (SSR) Silent Sustained Reading where every person has a book in hand reading. The student then prepared for home with a daily review and book bags.

At 2:30, school was over. The students waited for their parents, buses, or vans to pick them up. The teachers do not get off until 3:30. This allows them to stay with the students until they are called to the designated area. Today was a great day.
