Week 3 Blog

This week went by smoothly. I was able to sit in on a re-evaluation meeting and evaluation meeting. It was interesting to watch the teachers and psychologist work together to discuss these students. The psychologist was very welcome to my questions. He gave me some of the sheets that they fill out together. It was very interesting and cool for me because they made me feel like part of the team. I work with the two students who where being discussed so I was able to give my two cents about the situation. The meeting was very informative for me. I would like to in the future to sit in on a full IEP meeting, which I am hoping to do soon! I feel like a lot of good information would be given if I was given the chance to sit in on an IEP meeting.
The other interesting fact of this week was an English lesson I got to do in my full inclusion English class. The reason it was interesting was because I learned that down time in a full inclusion class equals loss of attention. I say this because when I was trying to get the computer up and running for the adverb interactive lesson the students loss attention because it took longer then I thought. I now know that I should always have things like that up and running ahead of time so to slim down the about of down time. It was a good lesson I learned by doing. I would also like to state I am getting a little sad I am coming up on my last week of Middle School......
