blog post #6

I read an article about record keeping daily events in order to help with objectively grading for report cards or for informing parents during parent teacher conferences. I can see the benefits of jotting down the date and details of every time a student does something good or bad in the classroom. This would be very helpful. However, I yet to implement something like this. I don't see how I could manage something like this during my first couple years of teaching. Also, I think this might be more helpful for elementary school teachers who deal with a lot more behavior issues than a upper level secondary math teacher like myself. 

Thus far, my classroom management has gone very well. Students are engaged and stay on task without distracting others. My only struggles I would say are getting 100% participating in starting the minute the bell rings and 100% participation in taking good notes.
