What a day it has been. For being only my second day
here at the Geneva School District I have already taught three classes with my
host teacher observing me, and two with a substitute watching me teach the
lessons. I felt as though it was important that I step up as soon as possible
and teach because this afternoon I knew my host teacher would be out and I did
not want the students to fall behind in their tumbling lesson. I feel as though
all of the lessons went quite well and the students really appreciated my
teaching and what I was trying to teach to them. I think in every class I was
able to get through all of the activities that I needed to get through. The
first three classes I taught went well, but as each class went I tried to set a
personal goal of bettering each lesson. I feel like I was successful in this
personal goal, because my organization and transitional time decreased and my
activity level went up in return. For my fourth class I observed my host
teacher teach the second part of this lesson, because depending on the day you
may teach two different lessons. I observed this because I would be teaching it
when the substitute arrived. I took notes on each station and how to
perform/teach them. The last two lessons of the day went well. The class I
taught the new lesson to had some behavioral which I did not tolerate and took
care of immediately. I do not think this was because of my teaching, because as
I understand this class has had behavioral issues for some time now. The last
class though was amazing, and did quite well at the first lesson that I had
been teaching. I had no complaints about them. Unfortunately my A.P.E. student
was not feeling well today and she did not come in. Today was a wonderful
second day here at the Geneva School District.
