Last day of Classes

For the last day of classes I decided to do a Wii Review game with each of my classes. Most students enjoy having an opportunity to play a video game even if it is only for less than a minute. It helps spark that competitive nature. I have tried to give my students the tools that they need to pass this regents on Thursday. I have given them certain sites like regentsprep.org and castlelearning.com that can help them practice their skills and give them instant feedback. I have also opened all prior review assignments so that students could go back and review all questions from assignments I have given them in the past.

Beyond that I told my students to contact me on facebook if they have any last minute questions about the Regents material. Hopefully, all of them use this ability to prepare.

I feel that the year overall has gone pretty well. I do wish I had an opportunity to get all my equipment sooner, because I think that it would have given me a chance to integrate technology more fully into my lesson plans. I think all my students benefited from the tech grant because it gave me the opportunity to try new things that many of them enjoyed doing. If I had to grade my own teaching ability and how I think I did this year, I would probably award myself with a grade of a B. I think I really improved my craft this year, but I think I still have lots of potential to unlock.
