Third Placement Block

Finally I am home and back in the grade 2 classroom! I am entering my third day of placement in my third teaching block and I am enjoying every minute of it.

I am teaching the 2D geometry shapes unit and I taught my first lesson for that unit today. It was a very interactive and fun lesson.

Fun 2D geometry game:
1. Cut out shapes (20 students, cut out 10 shapes and copy = 20 shapes with one pair)
2. Teacher will instruct students to close eyes, while teacher places a shape on each student
3. On the count of three, students will find their partner  with the same shape by asking questions about how many sides the shape has or how many vertices (using geometric properties)
4. When the students find one another, they will write down the shape and three geometric properties of that shape

The students loved this activity!

I will be on placement until December 16th and work my way to completing my career portfolio the week I have off, even though I'm still doing work, it is work I enjoy!

Who can pass down talking about yourself and fill a whole binder full of information!? I have so much more to talk about in the past two days I have been on placement, so please comment or ask questions if there is anything you would like to know.

Count down until Christmas= 26 sleeps
