Today math went pretty well. Mrs. Gibson said I did better today than yesterday. This is good, but it was unfortunate that many of the children didn’t grasp the concept. We played a game with partners for numbers 2-6. I will repeat the game tomorrow at quiet time. Then, in tomorrow’s lesson there is a worksheet with the partners for 2-6, so that will show for sure if there needs to be more reteaching. Today during playtime, however, there was a controversy over a child sharing her toy with all children. She made two children cry and I didn’t know how to help the situation, so after school Mrs. Gibson and I brainstormed ways to help the child and ways to nip the problem in the bud next time she brings in a toy to share for show and tell. I think it’s a hard time to help the children learn during playtime, because we all wish children could just play nicely together, but this is a learning time as well. It’s important for teachers to help the children learn social skills during this time as well.
