After today we only have one more Monday here in New York. It’s so strange because it doesn't feel that long ago when we first arrived in New York. It's sad that it is coming to an end but we are all excited to take what we have learned and bring it back home!
Today Sarah was excited because she was able to go observe a second grade classroom and will be observing more classrooms this week. It is a nice perspective to see other grades and other teachers ourselves.
Today after school at the Timothy House the teachers were able to meet with their peer teacher. These past few weeks the teachers have been paired up with each a certain grade and a specific grade. They were required to observe that specific teacher in action as they taught. Today the teachers had a chance to meet with each other and talk about things they observed that went well and things that they may have still had questions about. I love that Dwight has something set up for their teachers allowing them to observe others. They are able to do this because there is already two teachers in the classroom so while one leaves to observe the other is in charge of the classroom. The way they were paired up with was with the grade level below or above their current grade. This allows them to see where students are currently at and where they need to be the next year. It is definitely something all the teachers are able to learn from.
Be ready for next Monday's post - definitely will sum up our experience here in New York! BE READY!
