Okay, so we all know that Thanksgiving is a full-on American Holiday. There's really no way to translate that one into German. It does however, allow me some time to write a post here on the blog. Most of my free writing time has been absorbed by a Moon-watching journal that I have been writing for a class this semester. There's some really good stuff in there, I promise!
There's only about two weeks of class left before I am thrown to the wolves(literally, MCHS Wolves) at Michigan City High School. I can't wait to get started. I have completed my observation time at Ben Franklin Middle School in Valparaiso. In only about 30 hours of class time, I learned so many simple but important techniques. Keep instructions simple, model everything, take no prior knowledge for granted, make instructions explicit, plan and practice lessons, and allow students time to answer. More often than not, these students knew the answers to the questions I asked. I simply had to learn to give them the time to formulate their response.
As Thanksgiving arrives tomorrow, I wish everyone a safe, happy, relaxing holiday. I hope wherever you spend the day, your home is filled with love, family, friends, food, and football! It is truly a time to be thankful.
