As I am spending more time with the students and having in-depth conversations with my CT, I was able to point out about three students that would benefit more during the math and science lessons with my assistant. I am grateful that my CT is open and trusts me enough with the responsibility of working separately with those students while she teaches the lesson. This gives her the opportunity to teach an entire lesson without pausing every few minutes to ensure that one of those three students are on task or understands the content. I witnessed how challenging it could be when the majority of the class is grasping the concept quickly but she cannot continue because she does not want to leave the others behind. This leaves room for the other students to began talking and the focus is lost. I take this as an opportunity to show them several ways to solve the math problems, give them the chance to ask any questions they may have and give extra practice problems for them to solve independently so that I am confident that they understood what they learned.
Although this wasn't the first time, I spent more time partaking in Task #19 of the Classroom Management Tasks List which is "Write something on the board or a poster." While my CT walked around the room engaging the students in a lesson about words that belonged to the same family tree, I assisted by writing down all of the words that the students were calling out. It is personally one of my favorite things to do. I tend to write very small but I realized that I would have to change that in order for the students to be able to see clearly.
