Observation

So I am freaking out last night running on no sleep because I was so overwhelmed. I was fine in first period, and then the fire drill bell rang. Great. I lined everyone up and got them out and when they walked back in my class was so out of control. It's the day before Thanksgiving, fire drill, etc

Enter Dr. Faulkner. I choatically get my kids out the door and have 2nd period come in. I started my powerpoint and my video (thankfully they both worked) and then I did my activity with Play-Doh. The kids shared and then did an exit slip. The end.

And it went so smooth. The timing was good, the kids were all right, the room stayed relatively quiet and always on-task. I lucked out because with the beginning, well the end could've been way worse. I just hope he feels the same way.

And tonight, well I will finally get some sleep!

When that fire alarm went off I thought of you and hoped you weren't being observed at the time. Don't wory about Faulkner. He's laid back with his observation grding. Hope all went well. Have a good Thanksgiving.
