Week 13

Posted on April 27, 2008

I was on vacation this week! It was absolutely amazing to see my 1 year old daughter discover outside and and watch her chase her 4 year old brother. I also found it amazing how much my son has grown and developed into this little man. I also have to brag a little; my son was playing golf in the back yard and he hit the ball about 50 yards! I think I may have a new Tiger Woods on my hands. Like I said it was an absolutley amazing week!!!

I did think about how how I use my paras. I am struggling on how to make them more active and positive in supporting some of my students. I feel that some of them would rather sit by and watch instead of being active and ask if any one needs help. I also struggle with helping my paras see that some of my students are becoming too reliant on them. I almost feel that some of my 1:1s are almost too enmeshed in their students lives. These are some really touchy subjects that I am hoping Michael Giangreco and his group will help me and my colleagues with.
