This week, I put my poor peer tutors to work helping me decorate my classroom and incorporate a little "down" time into my lessons for my hardworking students. Everybody needs a break from worksheets and drills now and then, so I cooked up a coloring activity with birthday cakes and candles for all my classes. Unfortunately, as you will soon read, my peer tutors paid the price...
"This week in French 1 class, the students reviewed their greetings and numbers. In order to give them a little break for all of their hard work, Madame Tubbs decided to let the students color a candle for each of their birthdays. But, before she could hand out the candles, I had to cut them out. I can honestly not tell you how long it took me to cut them all out! When I was finished, the students colored and wrote on the candles. When this was done, I wrote everyone's birthdays on Mrs. Tubbs' calendar from all the classes and their candles. (not just French 1) It was very cool to see who shared the same birthday and how many birthdays were in the same month. All in all, it was a very productive week."
"This week in French has been busy and productive. The students have been working on their greetings and classroom objects vocabulary and from time to time they have been reviewing the numbers they learned. For every class, Madame had each student color and decorate a birthday candle with their birthday and first name on it, but someone had to cut the candles out. So I (along with the other peer tutor in the other class) cut out all the candles. I made paper cakes for each month of the year, decorated them, and put the candles for the birthdays for each month on top. it took a while, but I enjoyed doing it!"
