Ms. bruce's 6th grade Classroom
I am currently an intern in my final internship at Diplomat Middle School, teaching reading. This is the first time I have been in a middle school setting, since I was in middle school myself. Mrs. Ashby is my mentor teacher and these are her classes that I have fully taken over. In Middle School, most teachers only teach one subject all day long. Diplomat is on a 7 period day, we have 2 classes that are intensive reading so we have those students for 90 minutes (2, 45 minute class periods each). The other two classes are regular reading classes and they are only 45 minutes long, each day. We do a lot of whole group lessons and have time set aside each week for the students to read A.R during class time. We are trying to incorporate more and more small group activities but they are a very talkative so we have to remind them to keep their conversations on topic!
