Zip my lips
My most enlightening moment today was feedback from the principal after she had observed my teacher lead a math intervention class. She told me that I was helping the students by further explaining concepts that my teacher wanted the students to struggle with. I fully support letting students struggle, and I was surprised that I had given them answers. I don't want to give answers, I want to provide questions. It was a great wake-up call from the principal for me to not only zip my lip, but take more notice of how my teacher is encouraging students to do their own thinking. Once again, I need to be reminded to never say anything a kid can say!
