Quiet start.\n10:09 She called on 6 different students to share Do Now answers, used popsicle sticks.\n10:14 Mini-lesson on integer subtraction. Used the number line on the floor (tape) - two students walked it. Class was really into it.\n10:22 Partner work. Most pairs on task. Two pairs in the back corner off task until about 10:30, she didn't get back there.\n10:35 Whole-class share. A student explained \"subtracting a negative\" using the number line walk.\n10:44 Exit ticket. Collected at the door.\n10:48 She asked me after class: \"Did the back corner look off to you?\"\n\nMy thoughts: number line walk was the best thing I've seen this year. Back corner thing is what she asked about.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":80},{"type":"plainText"},{"type":"maxBullets","max":0}],"mistakes":[{"title":"No fixed shape","why":"The AI writes a formal observation report with sections and ratings.","fix":"Be exact: \"Exactly 3 lines: Glow:, Glow:, Grow:.
