Daily Reflections:

Date, Steps Reflection & Notes:

1A 10/22Steps 4­6

Today I was surprised at the range of paces and abilities I noticed in this class.We had a few students who were very self­directed and focused, and a fewothers who were extremely low functioning socially and academically who hadto be constantly re­directed and kept from self­harm or destructive behavior.I also realized mid­way through my demonstration on “mounting the doves” thatthis class could not handle this part of the procedure and that I would need tomount the doves for them myself. Again I had the challenge of what to givethose who finished early to keep them engaged while the others made slowprogress.

1B 10/28Steps 4­6

● Today I didn’t even attempt to demonstrate the mounting process,though I did explain what it was and why we (the teachers) will do it.

● I really pushed the goal of finishing our backgrounds & doves today, buthad at least 3 or 4 of the 12 students who just wanted to talk to me thewhole time! I told them this was the last day to paint, but about 4 aren’teven close!
