Short On Time

Since I have a couple of spare minutes before I am off to Seattle Hill, I thought I would try and catch up on the last week and a half.

Last Friday I had my first observation, it went GREAT!! My professor really enjoyed my lesson even better, the kids really like it too. My lesson was on idioms, I was surprised at how in to it my students were. It was such an energizing feeling. After my lesson was over my professor and I went over my lesson, she had nothing bad to say about. YAY!! such a huge relief.

Also, over this last week I have been teaching science. This has been a great experience and the kids really enjoy it as well. I'll give more detail about the science lessons some other time.

Tayte (my autistic student) just warms my heart. One morning while he was doing his entry task he just started to laugh in the middle and said, "I'm such a funny guy. I'm the funniest guy around." This just put a huge smile on my face.

Yesterday (Monday) I was in Jamie's room all day so, at the end of the day I went in to Amy's room to see my other students. All the students started to ask, "Ms. Craig where have you been?" I told them I was in the other room and they were all so happy to see me. This was the first time any of the students expressed that they missed having me in their classroom. This was such an encouragement! It makes me want to have my own students that much more!!
