I met Kim Fish and her friend Jeanne at FLAM and they were so gracious to come to my presentations and talk to me afterwards! During a PD day for their districts, they came to observe my class (on a Friday). It was business as usual in my class. Kim is a Spanish teacher and Jeanne is a French teacher. I loved observing them while they were watching as they seemed to really be enjoying the overall atmosphere of my classes.
My classes were glad to have them and were definitely showing off their fun attitudes and Spanish (as usual).
During class, we had the usual secret code to get it, then talked a little bit about the kids as usual in PQA, and continued with telling their third spoken story. Afterwards, we had PAT and played some games reviewing the story and/or the secret agents book we had just started. Since I have 90 minutes, we have to do a lot of different things!
I asked them to write a reflection after observing and here's what Kim wrote in an email:
