Blog Entry #6

    I saw many standards being taught in my service learning. On my first day they were presented civilizations that their team had created. They had to tell the class the geography of their area. After that they had to come up with weapons, food, and shelter that relate to the geography. It is showing their understanding of how ancient civilizations had to build from the ground up with what they were giving. Another example was in math. They had fraction of the day every morning. They had to make models of the fraction and also turn them into decimals. That applies to the number system strand and how to interpret and compute quotients of fractions standard. 

    Since I was there for such a short period of time, I couldn't necessarily tell you if she was missing standards. Mrs. Hill did have a calendar on the board though and it shows that they hit all of the subjects everyday. I think it is safe to assume that the teacher made sure she got everything she had to teach done everyday. Another thing she did to prove that is if the students are talking too much or messing around it's homework. They will always be distracted kids and in order to get through everything, sometimes you have to make it homework.
