I want to stay present and not let my mind wander as much as it has the past two weeks.

I just want to be intentional with taking in as much as I possibly can. I want to make sure I am taking notes about different concepts that I want to incorporate into my own classroom.

I want to connect with my students and make the lessons engaging

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to continue to build a stronger connection with my students. I also want to be able to be more relaxed because I know that me being tense during springboard can translate into my teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hoping to have 2 of my students with me in the session to work with them more in a group setting rather than the previous one on one.

# data[].attributes.body
I hope to have more flow within my sessions and also find different activities to engage and challenge my student more

# data[].attributes.body
I have three students. One student struggles more with reading and tends to get distracted easily. I hope to use some of the skills we've learned about responding to unengaged learners to help keep him on track. Also, I tried to edit my springboard lesson to meet the varying needs of my students based on their skill levels and interests.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hoping to build a stronger relationship with my student. It was her birthday over the weekend and on Friday she told me all about it. I'm excited to check in and hear more :)

I hope to be able to take full advantage of the short 30 minutes. I want to build a connection with the students while also staying on task.
