Do we remember the rules when i'm teaching you?"
Jemyah: raise your hand
Parker: if you have a question you can't call out
Joanna: no talking when someone else is talking
Good use of reinforcement
I am learning how to be a teacher" - Kelly points how I am taking ntoes and they don't need to
worry
sit on your bottoms and sit up straight. what do we do when we read a story? zip our lips and
throw away the key. possible classroom routine?
"what do we think brown bear, brown bear is?"
Je: brown bear
Jo: he sees stuff
parker reads it
"2 names what could they be?"
"bryan do you need help. you can pick someone."
Would be good to give more lag time when you ask and wait a little longer for responses.

what does the illustrator do?

"can i open the book from this side?" No!!!!!

parker waving her hand like crazy
"i see your hand parker."
eleanor: animals not usually that color.
parker: the words rhyme
"very good of you to notice. it doesn't mean rhyme. it means repeat! you saying something twice,
or threee times, more than one time! do you understand."
jo: i wanna write something!
kelly writes something. kids want to look.
kelly: "sit on your bottoms."
"repeat means you something more than one time, right?"

"purple cat, purple cat. blue horse."

je: purple cat
jo: you only said blue horse once.
kelly calls on bryan.
"did i repeat bluue horse?"
bryan sits straighter and looks intently unsure. kelly writes repeat.

kids complain that pencils aren't sharp "parker. . .we get what we get and we don't get upset."
"we don't need erasers."
"don't even writing about erasing. kid's writing you're fine!"
parker still upset, not doing work.
"parker you need to write for me. i would hate to have to give you a check."
kids helping each other to sound out words
jemyah asks if correct. "i'm not answering spelling questions!" "you don't have to be upset if it's
spelled wrong."

"it's okay sweetie. i forget sometimes too."


"oh remember, color comes first! oh it's okay. you can cross it out. don't forget kid's writing.
jemiah don't forget about your animal. oh you want it to be black? okay put a line through white.
kelly goes around and helps the children.
towards end of this lesson 2 other classes come in and start singing and crap. distracting.
parker: "it's a capital H!"
kelly: "mmmmnmm it's in the middle of the sentence."
parker looks intently at the board to spell "horse" correctly.
parker: mutters something i didnt catch
kelly: "you don't have to do anything you don't to with your drawing."
