End of First Quarter Already!

It seems crazy that it is the end of first quarter...in some ways it has gone by so quickly, but in another it seems like we have already done so much this school year!  I am adjusting in at Aquarian and I also go to visit on Fridays at Spring Hill, which is fun because I get to see how far some of the kids have come since the start of the school year.  I am going to be talking more with Brittany next week about planning because the focus has been on assessments so much in the last two weeks that I've been there.  I know my mentor at Spring Hill had to turn in a monthly curriculum calendar to the principal, which was really just a overview of what the Hartcourt theme was for those four weeks.  She also did weekly plan, but most of the planning was just filling in the pages from the scripted literacy program, Handwriting w/o tears,  and Everyday Math.  For the other pieces, like centers and art, she used a lot of her lesson plans from last year and filled this years' in with the same. 
My current mentor, last year when she was hired for 2nd grade, used Guided Reading a lot in creating her literacy program.  She uses the Science kit for science curriculum and pulls from other resource for spelling/social studies.  The Math is entirely scripted.  The one thing I am disappointed with from  my internship this fall is that I haven't been able to see an integrated curriculum being used in the classroom.  I had hoped that because Aquarian is a little more flexible than Spring Hill I would see it, however, the day at  Aquarian is "blocked off" just like at Spring Hill.  It would just be nice to see it in action and not just in theory!
