Grad School-Easy A

Well, I had my first night of MAT class on Tuesday. It will be very simple, however a little more difficult for me since my kiddos don't read. This is a reading class! There is only one other elem. teacher in there (2nd grade); the rest are upper elem. or hs. The teacher is really nice; she rambles a lot and knows it! We were done by 6:45 and will be done by 7:30 every week. The class isn't supposed to be over until 8:20. We have all of our assignments which are simple. We have 3 presentations to do. One: pick an age appropriate vocab word, write the definition on the board, use it in a sentence, and then the class (MAT class) has to use it in a sentence. Okay.. age appropriate for me is dog, cat, potty, yes, no...lol. My word I decided is going to patience! I have to say this a lot in the last week. We have to pick 1 reading strategy and create a lesson using it. Our 3rd presentation is to read to the class for 5 min. (it can be anything). Each week, we have a short assignment due. Class time will consist of the teacher going over 2 reading strategies, then followed by the 6 presentations (2 for each thing), and then we're done! Hopefully, I can stay on top of everything! Now if all my classes would be like this!!
