Friday and the students were able to focus all the way through sixth period. Sixth period is always the most challenging, I take some responsibility for that. Not only are the kids over it by the end of the day, so am I kind of. Its hard to be completely present , available, joyous and free in the 7th hour of teaching. We all did pretty well on Friday and stayed with each other and available for learning. TGIF!!!!!!
A-ha: upon watching an older video today, I see I let a student derail a whole class learning. In retrospect, I should've exited him from the class.
Reminder: Its okay to interrupt a Socratic Seminar by asking a student to leave, waiting for a situation to mature within the circle does not always work.
