Today's micro-lesson teachers did a great job! It makes me appreciate anew the group, time and space management skills that teachers have: to listen to each kid, redirect or correct as necessary, encourage emerging ideas, keep the conversation on track and headed towards the goal, all while walking around the room, passing things out and picking things up, watching the clock and mentally re-adjusting the plans for the day as lessons take shorter or longer than expected, etc, etc. Wow.
Also liked the group opening exercise of looking at grid of 16 squares (4x4) and counting how many squares there are. It was a simple and effective example of how you can come to different answers after time and conversation than you come up with at first glance.
