Finishing up...

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!
