So I got a little behind on blogs since I have been teaching more at the school. I’ll make these two blogs shorter so that I can get caught up with more present and exciting news. Wednesday at school I taught a maths lesson on how to change improper fractions into mixed numbers. Again, I find the lessons difficult here to plan because there is no text or curriculum. However, I thought the lesson went fairly well. Ms. Lisa had some suggestions as to how to keep the lesson moving and how to work with the wide variety of abilities in our class. I would say there is at least a three grade range difference between our twenty-three students. The gap making teaching one math concept to all the students difficult. I have to make sure the lowest ability level students are not lost while still challenging the gifted and talented group. 
Dan arrived yesterday afternoon and it has been fun showing him around. The weather has been pretty unpredictable. It rained pretty hard this afternoon, but was really nice before and after the rain.
