This past week has
been wonderful! Check out my Mid-Winter convention blog to read about my Farm
Show trip! (https://karliewrites.blogspot.com/2018/01/late-nights-call-for-sleepy-students.html)
Wednesday was my
first day in the classroom - I have my own desk right next to Mrs. Hoover's and
we have been working on my assignments since I wasn't teaching last week. I
also starting working on a fundraiser that we will be starting on Monday. The
ag department is going to sell hoagies and I am going to run the fundraiser for
Mrs. Hoover.
I also realized how
important it is to really give students my full attention. No matter what I am
doing when a student talks to me, I try to make sure I am looking at them and
really listening. I want to make sure that I keep working on this as the semester
continues. I also got to go to my first staff meeting! Administration explained students' senior projects and distributed the rubrics. So that was that.
Overall, I think
that this week was a success and I cannot wait to keep working with Mrs. Hoover
and her students! I can tell that this is going to be a really good student
teaching experience for me! Next week, I am excited and ready to tackle my
first class!!
I am glad that the week went well. I agree that it is important to give your full attention to students when talking with them. I think we all can do better at this at times!
