During the two weeks, I am most looking forward to having a grasp on what is going on! Sometimes, it is really hard coming in after a week, and the students are learning a totally different concept. It was especially hard to help them since I wasn’t sure what they did the day before or after. But now, during the weeks, I will be able to be there everyday and know what the students are learning. I look forward to developing more of a relationship with my students. It’s hard to leave them after a week then to come back a week later to see so much has happened. I hope that by being there everyday, I can help the students more. I am also looking forward to taking over the classroom a little more. Even now that we are close to the end, it still feels like I am stepping on my teachers toes a bit. My cooperating teacher mentioned that she would be more than willing to hand over the reigns of the classroom during the two weeks. I am excited to be seen as a regular part of the classroom, and not just a weekly part. I am also looking forward to seeing what my students do on different days of the week. I have become so accustomed to the Thursday schedule that it will be an interesting feel on the different days!
Overall, I’m nervous and excited to be a “real” teacher! : )
I'm most looking forward to getting a really "real" feel for teaching. I have loved this field placement and usually find my self wishing that I would be able to keep going instead of the start and stop motion that only teaching on Thursdays puts us into. Being there for two weeks will allow me to get the feel for being in the classroom everyday and teaching subjects on consecutive days so that I get a feel for how students knowledge develops instead of teaching a lesson and not seeing them until the following week. This will help me with lesson planning and adapting to what the students need more or less of. Also, like Julie said, I am extremely excited to just become a regular part of the classroom! Mostly I'm excited to jump right in and get my hands dirty!
Today Mrs. Ober outlined the next two weeks for me. It got me really excited to have such a major part in the classroom. It felt really "grown up" to have an organized week full of lessons! I'm excited to be teaching all day and I also notice the students considering me more and more as a teacher and not just a random observer, which feels amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing how other days go in the class and how the children are in the beginning of the week vs. the end of the week. I'm excited to have more control in the classroom and more of a responsibility! Plus, we have a field trip May 3rd which I get to attend and dress down days on Fridays!!! YAY!!
I am looking forward to seeing my class every day! I miss them during the week. I am looking forward to deveopling a better relationship with my students as well because it will be interesting to see their progression throughout a whole week instead of only a day. Like Julie said, sometimes it is hard coming in once a week because you are so unsure of what they have done in the previous week. So, I am looking forward to seeing what goes on every day and being more involved in their learning and classroom. I am excited to become a more integral part of the classroom as well. I am excited to teach every day too, nervous but excited. I am a large part of the classroom and I am so happy! I will have more responsibility, but I'm up for it!!!! I'm so looking forward to it!
I am looking forward to seeing what happens on a day to day basis. It can be challenging only being in the classroom one day a week because it is hard to get a true feel of how the classroom works. Each day the schedule is slightly different, so it will be a good experience to see what they do each day. It will be really nice to know what the students are learning each day, which will allow me to be more involved in their learning process. It is really exciting to be getting more and more involved.
I am so excited to gain a bigger part in the day. I am also really excited that I will get to interact with the kids every day. I can definitely tell that they see me as more than just an observer. They come to me for help, which feels great. I can only imagine how much more of that I will get to experience during these next two weeks. It will also be great to see how the kids act on different days, especially monday and friday! =)
Overall, I am really excited, but a little nervous. I know that my nerves will go away once I get started! =) I can't wait!
I am excited to be able to actually watch the students' content knowledge grow from one day to another. I was talking to my co-op today about how much it stinks coming in without a good grasp on how much of a certain topic the different students know. Sometimes you go in and what you intended teaching ends up being a review for the majority of the class, and it's always fun to introduce them to something new. I'm really looking forward to working with them on a whole unit instead of an individual lesson within a unit.
My students are funny, they have been asking when my two weeks would begin throughout the whole semester and now that it's here a lot of them forgot and were surprised when I said "See you Monday!" I'm really looking forward to getting into the daily routine of the class and gradually taking on more and more responsibilities and transitions. I'm really excited for these upcoming two weeks, the only thing I'm not looking forward to is waking up SO EARLY!! But hey, I guess I got myself into that mess when I was six and I decided that I wanted to be a teacher. : )
I am most looking forward to getting more of a feel to my classroom and the students! During the first week, I have the opportunity to teach reading throughout the entire week, and I'm excited to move through each day instead of only teaching 1 day of the week. It's hard to come in only once a week when I'm unsure of what they have worked on the day before. I'm excited to gain more responsibility in the classroom, and am beginning to feel more and more like a teacher! I'm also excited to gain more time with my students. They are a fun group of kids, and it is great to see that they see me as a teacher now as well. They come to me for help just like Mrs. Kauffman! I also get to go on a field trip, which I am very excited for!
I'm looking forward to seeing my students on a day OTHER than Thursday, and seeing how their schedules change their behaviors and their daily routine. On Thursdays I'm left with about 7 students because they go to band for an hour, so I'm looking forward to having more time with the rest of the class.
I'm also looking forward to teaching math for more than one day. I'm excited to finally see how all these lessons flow together and play off of each other in "Everyday Math", as well as seeing how Mrs.Funck modifies things day-to-day.
On the downside (but great for experience) I'm anxiously awaiting the responsibility of having lesson plans for every day of the week...and during the second week for a whole day of instruction. I'll get that full taste of how much preparation takes into planning a full day of learning.
I think I'm most excited about being in the classroom for consecutive days. I'm actually teaching at least 2 lessons every day! I can lesson play for more than one lesson. I can plan ahead. I will know what's going on in the class. I even got my own desk today. I'm just so excited to see the kids every day. I'm teaching social studies for the full two weeks as well as reading. I also teach the whole day for two days the second week. I'm hopeful that experiencing two weeks in the classroom will allow me to feel more prepared for student teaching and lesson planning on a regular basis. It's going to be a crazy two weeks but definitely a lot of fun.
I'm excited to see my students everyday and see how the other days in the classroom! My co-op and I have talked about what the next two weeks will be like and I will have a major role in classroom! On Monday I will be doing all the transitions and morning meeting as well as taking charge of a center. By Wednesday the class will be turned over to be and I will be teaching all of the lessons and my co-op said that she will be leaving me alone with the class for small amounts of time. I will not have to plan my own lessons for everyday. I was nervous about that. But I'll be teaching the lessons that my co-op would normally teach.
I am excited and nervous for the chance to have so much responsibility in the classroom!! : )
I'm most excited to see my students every day! I miss them between Thursdays and it will be fun to see how they act throughout the rest of the week. I'm also really excited to be a "permanent" part of the classroom. I've started taking over some of the transitions and stuff, like taking the kids to and from specials but every time they always ask where Miss Pagana is because they're still not used to me being there all the time and being completely in charge. But during the first week Miss Pagana and I will be splitting the class day and by the second week I will be completely in charge of the class. It's going to be a lot of work but I can't wait to get started!
P.S. One of my students was reading "Through My Eyes" by Ruby Bridges on Thursday. I thought that was pretty cool since we had just talked about her in class!
I’m really looking forward to feeling the full effects of being a “real” teacher! I started my middle colonies unit and got half way through my introduction, which I need to continue on Monday. The kids were extremely excited to have social studies back in the curriculum, since they had not done it since PSSA’s began. It made me really excited that my lesson went so well and they were more attentive than they had ever been. I really look forward to the next two weeks because I will finally get to see what is going on everyday and feel more in the loop than I usually in coming in only once a week. I hope to acquire as many responsibilities as my teacher will give me and I look forward to seeing what it is like to teach a full day by myself!
My class is also going on two field trips next week so I’m looking forward to taking part in that aspect of being a teacher, as well! I think it will be really interesting to see how the students interact outside of the classroom.
I am most looking forward to experiencing an entire week of lessons. To this point, I have only experienced snippets of lessons. I always hear my teacher saying things like, “As a review of yesterday” or “Like we talked about yesterday”, and now, I will be there for yesterday and tomorrow! Hopefully, I will gain more insight into the planning aspect of an entire week as I participate in lessons day after day. I want to watch lessons unfold from start to finish, and I look forward to planning and executing more lessons, too.
I am excited to see the students for two full weeks. They seem happy to see me on Thursdays (as I am to see them), so I wonder how they will feel about me being in their classroom every day. I am eager to experience what type of impact I personally can have on learning. After just one Thursday, I feel like I had a small part to play in learning. I cannot even imagine the number of activities I can plan and present in two weeks. I am currently planning a science lesson on liquids, so I am curious to learn what the students will remember the following day. I am looking forward to continuing our science discussion for more than forty minutes.
I feel like I have learned a lot from my co-operating teacher like, discipline, classroom management and the ability to find laughter within a fully packed school day, so I am eager to experience and learn more from her as I complete my two week placement.
I am most looking forward to the flow of the classroom throughout the entire week. Just going in there every Thursday, I get to see a small piece of a full week's lessons. Since the basal is set up to have a new story every week, I get to see the students' near the end of the lessons so they have already mastered the story. I am excited to see the development of the entire week and how the lessons fall into place.
I think the big highlight of my two weeks is going to be my full day of teaching. During the second week I will be acting as if I were a substitute teacher in the classroom and teach the students for the entire day. It will be a great experience to finally get a chance to put into action all of my previous experiences and knowledge I have acquired through methods block. All in all it should be a great two weeks and I look forward being in the classroom.
I am looking forward to seeing how the other days of the week operate, not just Thursday's! I know that they work on spelling words on Monday's and I am curious to see how my teacher goes about doing that. I am also excited to see the children more than one day a week. It will be nice to see what it is like to work with the same students on a regular basis. I am teaching my first math lesson ever this week and I am excited and a little nervous about this. Hopefully, it goes well.
I cannot wait to see what the next two weeks hold!
I am most looking forward to seeing how a whole week unfolds and what excatly it entails. On Thursdays its difficult to get situated sometimes because I'm a little unclear of where the students are/what was done earlier in the week so I'm excited to see the progression of the week.
I'm also looking forward to having more responsbility in the classroom by teaching more lessons, creating and running centers, etc. Although Mrs. Keefer and I do not have it all planned out yet, I am fairly certain I will be teaching for an entire day, if not more, next week.
Additionaly, this coming Friday, my class and I are going on a field trip to the Hershey Gardens and touring the middle school, so I'm excited to see that aspect too. I'm very much looking forward to everything!
Unfortunately, I forgot to blog after placement last Thursday, but I'm still excited about full-time placement and have had a great first day! I'm really looking forward to seeing the day-to-day lessons and how everything connects in each subject. Being in placement once a week was hard to piece together lessons and concepts in different subject areas.
I'm also looking forward to getting to know my students more during the two-week period and getting to teach more. I hope to be involved in their learning and work more with the students. I like doing guided reading with the students and teaching them math and reading each week, so I'm excited to do more of it!
It will also prepare me for student teaching and help me learn about how I can improve as a teacher in each of the domains I discussed before in a blog!
I am anxious for a full two weeks of teaching because I will have the opportunity to see more of each lesson. It is always more confusing to jump in once a week and not really be sure what they did the previous day. Getting to see that will be beneficial. I am excited to do more teaching as well. My coop has sent me her plans for the week and has me doing a lot which will be a great experience!
I am excited to see the students’ everyday rather than once a week. Seeing the school days one after another will give me a better feeling as to how their schedule is set-up. Since their schedule is set up day one through day six, it is difficult to understand how it works by only going in on the same day each week. My co-op and I already planned out a tentative schedule for my two weeks at the school. For the first week, I will be teaching at least one lesson each day. The second week is what I am excited to see because I will have been in the classroom for a complete week. For the second week I will be doing more activities. I will be teaching about two lessons each day and as of now, I am going to teach for the full day on the last day of my placement. Teaching for a full day is what I am really excited for. I know it is going to be a challenge and I am really nervous about it, but I know it will be a great experience. Instead of observing or helping out the teacher, I will be the teacher for the day. My co-op will be helping me out this time. I will be in charge of what students need to do in the morning, teaching all the subject areas, bringing students to electives, picking them up from recess and other places. I will have actual experience of being the teacher for day.
During the two weeks, I am most looking forward to having a grasp on what is going on! Sometimes, it is really hard coming in after a week, and the students are learning a totally different concept.
