After Class

Lesson Review Notes

• If I'm gonna do the seating chart, I need to remember faces with names, I cannot expect them to be honest with me.
• Doing the seating chart to start class wasted a lot of time.
• I chose to raise my voice and be a little combative with the kids. With this sort of class where almost everyone is pushing that's sorta necessary.
• These two young ladie would be too of my best students, but slowing down the pace has caused them not to be interested, and speak to eachother.

What I did well

• Keeping the class moving.

What I could improve upon

• Not being properly prepared with a seating chart before class began.

Next Week

• Before class starts, ask the kids if they have their pens?
• Before class, have a better idea of seating charts and things, so I don't waste time.
• Make sure to play a game.
