I agree with Lauren that this past week seemed to fly by. I started the week finishing up in Danise's room and ended the week with math and science in Shannon's room. I feel equally comfortable in both rooms, but I think I will struggle more with the content in math and science. I officially start my unit of Living Systems in science on Monday and feel okay about it. The thing I'm most worried about is being able to get through all the content in the amount of time I have. It's a new unit with new materials, so I'm not sure how long everything will take. I also want to suppliment activities into the unit, but I'm not sure what to do with it or if I'll have enough time to get anything else in.
From what I have started in math with the students, I think this unit is going to be a struggle. The idea of going between fractions to decimals is hard and confusing for the students. They lack a deep understanding of place value, which makes things even more complicated when converting from fractions to decimals. I'm thankful that I can talk to everyone to get advice on what to do with this math unit. I'm okay taking things slowly, but I know there's still a time limit on getting everything done. I just want my students to understand these difficult math concepts.
