\nThe topic that was given at yesterday's seminar is very fitting for today! A teacher from another grade had to borrow my teacher's classroom so we switched classrooms for a period. It was my period to teach so I thought that it wouldn't be too big of a deal to do this. We went upstairs into the different classroom and got settled in. PSSA's were going on next door so I made sure to tell them to be extra quiet in this classroom to show respect for the other students. They were doing a seasonal collage so I had them get into 4 groups of 4 or 5 and they had pictures of themselves and out of magazines to include on the collage. They were very excited to do this so it got very loud. I made sure to redirect them and to tell them to quiet down, but eventually it got very out of hand. There were some students coming up to me because their friends were not sharing, others arguing over what pictures to put on, and it just felt very loud and unorganized. I was very flustered and by showing that, I feel like I made the situation even worse. I know that in their own comfortable environment, they would not have gotten as loud as they did and because they were out of their element, it made it worse. However, I feel as though if I had been more organized and prepared in the environment, it would have went over better. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take my things up into that classroom and set up so it was a little unorganized. Being flexible is a part of being a teacher so I'm a little upset with myself with how things went. Hopefully, I'll be able to get control of the classroom more easily from now on or have a set technique to get them to pay attention to me and to actually listen to what I'm saying when they start getting too loud.<\/span>

\nThe collages actually came out wonderfully despite the curcumstances! Later in the afternoon, we made a graph as a class on what our favorite season is and it's now hanging in the hallway with our collages. Overall, the results came out great, but the process of the lesson did not go as well as I intended.<\/span>","dateCreated":"1331842119","user":{"username":"Samjb","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/Samjb","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"diffUrl":"\/page\/diff\/Samantha%27s+WikiSpace+Page\/311496110?mode=code"},{"name":"Comment region changed","rangeText":"I'll be doing a human clock with them so I'm also excited about that.
