Yesterday I was given the opportunity to cover a grade 1 class as the teachers were in a collaborative meeting. I was excited to have more teaching experience in a different grade level. I began to teach the class a social lesson covering landmarks. It was interesting to see the difference between the grade one class and my grade five class. I also felt I had a very positive and successful lesson with the class. I was able to modify my classroom management techniques to keep the students on task and minimize their desire to story tell and keep the conversation content related. Overall the class was on task and able to identify different landmarks and their importance.

At my PSIII school we have introduced the program "one school, one book". As a school we are reading "Where the Mountain Meets the Moon". The school has provided a book to each family and staff member to read at home. The intent is for the student's parents to read aloud with their children each night. So far, we are about half way through the book and it has been really exciting to see the school coming together and getting excited about reading. Each day there has been trivia questions that are asked about the previous nights reading. We are also including some projects related to the story in different classes. This week I will be making dragon masks with the class during art class for them to wear during our closing assembly of Where the Mountain Meets the Moon. This is the first time Agnes Davidson has done one school one book and has been quite successful thus far. Every morning students are talking about the book in the hall, wanting to read their book during silent reading, and reading ahead because they want to find out what is going to happen next. It has been great to be apart of this and see the student excitment about reading!
