I had an awesome experience at the Newcomer Program today. In math, we talked about dividing, subtracting, and multiplying decimals – which is something I hadn’t done in quite awhile. I walked around and helped the kids work on a worksheet.
In art, the kids took an exam. It seemed to be difficult despite how long they have been working on this unit. The teacher asked me about my experience so far and the comparison between the different classes – the high school class is much less engaged than the other classes I have observed. I explained to the class that paying more attention to directions might help them get better grades.
