Exactly how many lesson plans can one person be asked to complete in under a week? Well, I suppose that's not an accurate appraisal of the situation I have found myself in this evening. A better question is, why are group projects a thing? I won't have any assistance writing lesson plans when I am teaching in my own classroom, so why am I being assigned more group projects than I can count on one hand? I have yet to determine why "collaborative learning" is just so mystifyingly wonderful to my professors. They might just not understand that we all really hate them, but I can't see how that is possible considering the amount of complaints that escape the mouths of me and my peers on a daily basis. I'm sure most people think I'm whining because "elementary education is super easy". BAH! That's cute! I really just want to give people who say this a swift slap in the face and a stern talking to. I have yet to meet a single soul that could actually handle and perform well on all of the assignments that we are given. For instance, by Friday I have to...
- Complete the observations and reflections on my literacy tutoring session
- Meet with one of my middle level professor for 45 minutes tomorrow for a required meeting to discuss a group lesson plan
- Meet with my Middle Level Lesson plan group to actually write the lesson plan
- Write an individual lesson plan over rainforests that incorporates technology - turn in for instructor comments sometime tomorrow, turn in final draft Friday at midnight
- Meet with Teaching Primary Math lesson plan partner to write lesson plan and plan activities that we must implement within the classroom.
- Write my literacy tutoring lesson plan by 7:00 am on Friday
- Analyze a math interview with a child, to be turned in at noon on Thursday
- Complete math structures homework - LOL This won't get done.
- At some point this week, I have to write 2 lesson plans for my job, where I plan and teach an after school program for Kindergarteners. I could write these over Spring Break, but then I wouldn't get paid for it.
- Oh and meet with the Portfolio Submission person to ask them questions before Spring Break.
That's it...easy huh? No big deal. So glad there's not much on my plate right now. Yeah.
