OK, so what started off as a Unit on Spiders, has morphed into a unit on Animals, which made sense because we have a trip to the zoo scheduled for October 22, and as of October 1st had yet to teach the kids anything about animals.
I had the best of intentions here- I pulled out my Understanding by design book, I looked at the standards, and before I could get to the third stage of my planning (that is where you plan out the activities and assessment right?) It was time to start teaching.
I am actually really disapointed in myself. Not just because of this half completed science unit, but I feel like I am not actually doing really good teaching and I feel that when I am teaching, my kids are not actually learning much, the only thing I actually feel really successful with is teaching Math, but I think that is just because I borrowed UTEP's Everyday Math Curriculum and am using it in the classroom.
Off to plan for tomorrow!
Buenas Noches!
