Yesterday we went to the elementary school for the first time in a while. It was good to see all the students again and how excited they were to see me in return. My teacher gave me two students to take out in the hall and work with. The objective was along the lines of with color coded picture cards the students will identify matches and put the pieces together. The students did a good job at that and then were sent back inside where they had other obejectives. The class went through a series of tables they rotated between and had a different objective at each table. The teacher did not say the objective just how we have seen it done on paper, but she explained what the students were supposed to do and gave examples on how to accomplish what she wanted done at each table. Objectives can come in handy in a classroom, but when the classroom is a kindergarten class full of 6 year olds, the job of getting the objective across becomes a little harder.
