Today I video taped the lesson. I warned the rest of my students that I was video taping and that it would be helpful if they could keep their voices down. However, it soon became apparent that was a good way to ensure they would be loud and as disruptive as they could possibly manage. I don't know how my student is able to concentrate with all that background noise! Fortunately, the video tape is for a department meeting so it's not a total disaster.
My student is making great progress in the program. She is making a lot of really neat connections. I just wish I could remember everything I am supposed to do within a lesson. I keep forgetting things like having her cover and spell a word after she has built it. I am getting better at reviewing the sight words before she reads the sentences and I am more consistently having her read sight words and go over the vocabulary words. Still, we are being observed by our instructor next Wednesday and I am concerned that I am still not up to par with this. It will be interesting to see what feedback I get from the instructor next Wednesday.
