Thursday's lesson in Mrs. Roth's class was my first lesson in first grade this year. The first lesson for any grade level each month is always a bit daunting, because I don't have a solid idea of what time I need to make transitions and how the kids will react to the lesson. I have always tweaked things after that first lesson.
For the first time since I've been here, I haven't made any changes to a lesson after that first delivery. Miss Ashley (our intern from Clemson, who will earn her M.Ed. in December) and I talked about I-messages and did some examples with the class on the SmartBoard. She shared a story (The Recess Queen), and the students drew scenes from the book and shared their drawings and the I-messages they might give to Mean Jean.
The lesson flowed very smoothly, transitions were made with care, the students responded well to everything presented, and they shared some great drawings & I-messages.
