Comments: Cory has basically taken over the room already. He knows the Content Standards and implements them in each activity. I notice Cory needs to be aware of the time for each activity and also be aware of all the students during center time. It is very easily to get distracted on the small group and not the whole class. It will come with time. Cory has implement our assessments strategies in the classroom, however, I would like to see him use other forms of assessments that he has learn in school such as a checklist.
