Rusty and Dusty

Today was exciting for me. I was able to go into another teacher's class and model a lesson for her. I worried and scripted and still felt unorganized when I got in the class. However, it was a lot of fun and the kids were wonderful. I think a did a constructivist thing...I modeled how to set up Norms/expectations with the class (this teacher is struggling with classroom management). Instead of giving them my list of expectations, I asked what they thought the norms of the class should be. There was total buy in and the list looked just like mine would have! Kids never cease to amaze me! It was fun to be with the kids again.
