Finishing up my first 8 weeks!!
I am really excited to say that I am almost at the halfway point of my final semester! It is hard to believe that in about 2 months I will be walking across the stage graduating! This 8 weeks has been a really good learning experience. I taught 5 days without the cooperating teacher in the room last week and that was really neat but scary! There were times where I really was not sure how to handle certain students but I tried my best and definitely learned a lot from it. It is very much an artificial environment since it is not actually my classroom and the students are not used to my teaching style. I tried my best to build relationships with the students but it is difficult to when I only get to spend 8 weeks with them. I cannot wait until I have my own classroom and get to start from Day 1 with the students.
Tomorrow I will teach my last lesson at this school and my supervisor will be there. Hopefully I will do a good job with the kiddos and finish this 8 weeks with a good evaluation. I am looking forward to the next school I will be at. I will be in a 2nd grade classroom and that will be a totally different experience. There are 25 kids in this classroom I will be in next.
Unfortunately I will have about a 30 minute drive to my next school but I have been spoiled this last 8 weeks being next door to the school.
64 days until graduation! :)
I will try to keep you posted throughout the rest of the semester but it will definitely be busy! God Bless!
