11-10 7th AMS Crawford Science
Mr Crawford's science class is going to be on watersampling! The classes were a lab & of course I lectured. the classes did sampling of their virtual watersheds - for Nitrates, Salinity, & Tempature. The samples did not yeild any dramadic results - it would have been better to have real samples from different watersheds or streams. but, Mr Crawford's son is quite sick & it is understandable to not be able to do everything. Enjoyed class & hope to be back in mr crawford's class since I have an in with Mr. Norstand 8gr science & Math teachers see my value - could be a nice connection to AMS.

11-9 Mrs Wolf Math
Mrs Wolf's classes are very well run - you can tell how a teacher runs her class by how the students act when a sub is there. Gave test all day - students have not really got it with some of the consepts. had seating chart & good plans.

11-2 Amesville Elem Crell Reading
hard class!! not because of students or Ms Crall's plans, but because of the program. Can not say that program works or does not work - but will say that the quick progression from one area to the next is one of main objections to education system as it stands now.

11-1 TMS Mr Guffey Sp Ed
This was the day that I missed going to VJH because of calendar mix-up. Mr Guffey has some interesting SpEd. children - most seem interested - to some extent in learning. Attention span is very much a part of this group of children.

10-31 VJH Bragg SpEd
Ms Bragg has a pretty good scheduleb- morning math with another teacher providing the matterial - Pm inclussion. helping these students get through the day without feeling left behind is a big help in their lives. She does have a student or two that are - if channeled properly - could be quite productive individuals.

10-30 Allens Elem PE ms henneman
Interesting for a teacher to be out all week & not leave more of what needs to be done. Don't get me wrong - i like being able to do what I want in these classes - but some ideas are always helpful. Did the 5 base kickball - of course I get to pitch for both sides!
10-27 Plains Elem Slattery 3rd
Well subing with a student teacher is interesting - they are wanting nothing more than to "be incharge". But there is this presence - namely me the sub also in the room. I try to give the student teacher the experence of being in charge - yet at times i can not resist the temptation to do something like "Teach"!
