Day 20 Student Teaching

This semester I got to do my first official student teaching practice. I was assigned to Scera Park Elementary and it was for a 6th grade classroom. When I first learned that I was assigned to 6th grade, I was terrified. I remember

my 6th grade classmates being pills for substitutes that came in and I could only imagine how they would treat student teachers. Nichole and I met with the teacher a few weeks ago and we were pretty excited because she was awesome and had a lot of experience! She said just to let her know what we would need to teach and she would have us observe the first week of being there and then teach any lessons we needed to after that. When we first met the students they were excited to see us and kept asking questions about us. They seemed to be engaged with the lessons we've taught so far and we still have a couple more lessons left this week before it's time for Thanksgiving break. I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from a great teacher and to be working at a great school. The principal is very involved with all of his students and knows their first and last name. I never see him without a smile on his face or greeting a student as he walks down the hall. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be at a great school while I do my student teaching field work.
