A Short but Productive Week

This week was a very short week with only three days of school due to Easter vacation. It is starting to really set in that my time at Manheim Central is almost over. It is even harder to believe the connections I have made with students in this short amount of time.

This was my last week with AgriEcology which was a blessing in disguise to say. This class gave me a run for my money no doubt. I tried lecturing, discussion, activities, and more and just nothing I did they seemed to get into. I based my action research off of this class. I did it on learning styles, so after the first unit I recorded their scores and had them do a learning style quiz. From there I recorded where the strong points were and it more or less fit how I taught the last unit. I based the energy unit off of this information and after their exam on Tuesday that will be set of exactly the same as the populations one. After all this is done I can put my action research poster together.

As for next week, I will teach my last week of Intro to Ag before Mrs. Anderson takes it over again. Mrs. Anderson and I are going to co-teach the electric unit because she got some awesome new technology through a grant and has never used any of it herself so we are going to go at this together and see what we can do.

I also have to keep trucking on banquet planning. I got the proficiency awards picked out, need the certificates made and then that part is done. I have to get the slide show presentation done where this year I am adding in senior fair wells. I have been helping the officer in charge of decorations plan what we want and how we are going to do it.
