Ok so today's class just like all the others went very well. I finished the five effective questions and hopefully my partner will be satisfied with them. I think for the grade level they are actually really good. Theyre not too hard and if i did present them to an actual kindergarten class i think i would get a very good response from the students. I was pretty quiet in class today because my partner wasnt here and also because i was the only one sitting in the middle aisle. Im used to having my partner here who is also a best friend of mine but hopefully shell feel better and be in class on friday. I really cant wait until we do our lesson plans cause i think it is going to be something really interesting. Its not like any other class where you teach and everyone follows along. In Dr. Luongo's classes she gives us roles to play which i think its going to be pretty funny but its really good because it gives us something to expect when we really become teachers. Melanie and I go first so it should be fun.

5 Effective Questions

ok bloggers i am about to post up 5 effective questions for our book. Give me your feedback! (You may need to click on the right to listen to the recording)

Questions

1. Boys and girls lets read the title together, "1, 2, Skip a Few First Number Rhymes". What do you think this book will be about?

2. What number do you think we will count to? Maybe we will count to 100, who here can count to 100?

3. Who was at the door? Was it Mary? Do you think it was Mary who ate cherries off a plate? Who here likes cherries? Do you eat them off a plate? Why?

4. "One, two, three, four, five. Once I caught a fish alive." Has anyone here caught a fish? How do you think you go about catching a fish?

5. "Five eggs and five eggs that makes ten" So if they all hatched how many fluffy chicks are there? Now what if it were six eggs and six eggs, how many would that be?

So today i am left by myself because my partner Melanie is out sick. It is a good thing that one of us was able to make it to class because I myself am not feeling well either. Fortunately we finished our recording of the book so the rest I can manage without her.This is also our last day in this classroom and i am pretty excited because it is always ridiculously hot in here. My task for today is to come up with five effective questions for our book. I have to keep in mind that the questions cannot be too challenging because the book is on a kindergarten grade level, but at the same time they have to make the students think. Talk to you later bloggers!
