After Teacher Self-Evaluation

Paula:
Allison: I thought we had a great lesson on money. American coins can be confusing because
the sizing is not intuitive, so we spent the most time on that trying to decipher which coins
were which. I went over my planned time :( which meant that Paula didnt have as much time
as we had planned for her portion of the lesson. We should have split up the review activities
at the beginning of the lesson so that we shared the total class time a bit better. We were
recorded today, so I will email Dr. Tanner and let him know I was in error to take so much time.
We will continue practicing with money tomorrow.
