Things that are going well
Objective:
Your social skill of the day: being good
listeners.
Math: Making and understanding graphs

Interesting you started out with a social

skill as an objective along with a math
objective. I think this is a good idea.
You stopped several times throughout
your teaching to remind them
remember we need to be good
listenersgood strategy.

You explained to them the worksheet

they would complete today. You
reminded them how they would work
with a partner. I liked the way you
demonstrated step by step what they
needed to do. Good way of modeling
and giving clear instructions.

Students were at task and you

constantly monitored throughout the
classroom.

You noticed several students fighting

over items you stopped everyone and
reminded them of group participation
and respect.

You demonstrated a lot of positive

praise and you were good at reminding
them to speak in Spanish. And your
transitions were quick and effective.
They were quick in gathering
manipulative and amazing at picking
up at the end of the activity.

Good job in demonstrating the final

product on the smart board.
Everything was smooth, organized and
calm.
