Manipulative Performance Assessment!

I was so nervous and worried about the manipulative performance assessment! We had plenty of class time to practice, but the task still seemed daunting. I think that we were all over thinking it. Jenna and I successfully completed the task and looked at Dr. Shih for approval. It was like we were waiting for something else to happen, but that was it. We were done! It is such a relief to have that assessment completed. It may sound silly, but I am sure that some of you can relate......When someone is watching you...particularly a Dr. it is so easy to slip up. It is almost like you forget your name and everything else that seems so obvious and appears to be common sense. This made me think about future students that we will have. Will they be mortified to model in front of us, or is that a bad habit that they learn over time?!?!?!? The kids in the videos we watch seem so chill, but they are special, super-smart kids with an alternative education (kind of)! LOL! Will some kids be more nervous than others, or is it all about the environment that we provide? Just a random thought!
