Today I was finishing up my lesson about volume with my 6th graders. They discovered the formula yesterday V = l x w x h. Today, we used the cubes and rectangular prisms they constructed out of paper to find the volume. Then, the students worked in pairs to find the volume of different rectangular prisms. I was so proud of them - they COMPLETELY got it!!! EVERY single kid today mastered it!!! Even my most struggling student - we will call him "D" - got this like it was no big deal. He was so excited today that he mastered this - his face was absolutely priceless!!!
Steve and I went to the store today to get "healthy" food. We left with two types of apples, beets, two types of salad, carrots, radishes, red peppers, cauliflower, gelato, almonds, and diet Pepsi. I eat an entire red pepper a day - they are so delicious and I was told they are a natural stress reliever - yay!!!
This coursework for Lehman is so intensive!!! I had to read a whole textbook chapter, answer questions, watch a video, respond to questions, and "add my 2 cents" to a teaching contract for 2009. It doesn't look like a lot, but, it was, when I have to eat dinner, plan a lesson, and do other things for school, and try to relax a bit from a whole day of teaching!! UGH!!
Time to do more stuff and "relax" for a bit. :)
