FIRST DAY

So, today was my first day as a student teacher. Yesterday my school was closed and I did not have to go in. YAY!!! I mean that has to be a good start to the semester right? Well I think that it was. I had an amazing first day. My coop and I get along very well. I am going to start teaching on my own next week. I am only going to teach two classes though and then I will move up from there. I wanted to start out slow and then gradually work up to teaching all day. I will only ever have to write two lessons a day though. The seventh and eighth graders are taught the same thing. Since they are only seen in either eighth or seventh grade. This is something that I think is very nice, at least for the teacher. Other, than that we just talked about some of the things the students are going to be doing and what I am going to be teaching them. My advisor is coming next week to watch me teach the lesson. My second week in and she is already coming to visit. Ahh I am scared about this as well as about teaching my lesson. I don't know why though. Last, semester I taught a full day by myself and was fine. I think I just need to get back into the swing of things. Every semester it takes me awhile to get into things. I think that this is the same thing. It is just going to take a little for it to all sink in. I think that once I get started and see what it is like all will be well. Well I have to go work on my packet. Until next time.....
