1. It went well! Except for one little guy who always responds negatively when someone out of the ordinary is in the room, the kids were engaged! I told them a story about how a bunch of dinosaur eggs got mixed up and they had to help the mama dinosaurs get their babies back. The only way they could make sure the eggs were in the right nest was to count the number of dots on each egg and match them to the corresponding nest. They were so into it. They were super talkative and excited when we talked as a whole group and they were quiet, hard workers in small groups.
2. I got an email from an administrator showing how the rubric used to critique me isn't appropriate based on the age group I teach. No wonder I've gotten lower 'scores' than I expected. Even if the current rubric is used to critique me this time, and even if I don't get the 'grade' I think I deserve based on the current rubric's criteria, feeling like someone understand my position makes it okay.
I'll meet with my supervisor once she's done evaluating me so we can talk about how it went. On one hand, I'm happy because I know the lesson went well. On the other hand, I still want to get a good 'grade' and I'm nervous that she won't see the good things that happened. I guess I will just have to wait and see!
And if she doesn't think I did well, I might just have to start leaving her copies of my favorite drawing all around her office!
