Intern Teaching #8

Well, there comes a point in every teachers career where you've got to say... "It's beyond my control." This week at Bruceton, the week of (10/21/2013 to 10/24/2013) and due to an ISE day on Friday (10/25/2013) I will not have any students tomorrow. Also, my 8th grade students that I am doing my research project with, all had to take testing this week. Monday: students had to take Acuity testing Tuesday: Students did an interest inventory to prepare for the ACT test Wednesday: Students took the ACT Explore exam that tested them on the path they will take in high school. So as you can see, I only had one day of instruction time for my 8th graders that were working on distance, speed, and time. Also, what made it difficult was that the last instructional day in Math that I had with the students was Friday. (10/18/2013) I feel like I spent the entire day today, reviewing old material because students did remember what was studied last week. I will try to pick back up on everything on Monday when students return to school. My hope is that we can get back on track soon.
