Today I felt went quite well. This far it was some
of my best teaching here at the Geneva North Street School. My host teacher
unfortunately was not in today due to personal reasons, but I really took this
time to try and build a respecting relationship with the students. Every class
I treated like a test. I would try new instructional devices and see how they
worked with different students. I am starting to understand how some students
work with others, and I really think this is an important concept to know. If
students can work well it allows for more class time on task and less
distractions to be had. I actually like the quick paced classes. It allows me
to almost get a lot of reps in at teaching that subject. The only downfall is I
do not have to to reflect and then respond. I almost have to respond on the go.
I think this is almost a better type of action to have, and luckily I had many
weeks to prepare myself for this type of thinking at the Victor School
district. It is funny I find that when I am outside of the gymnasium the
students find it to be the most exciting thing to see me in the hallway. I
really enjoy this. It is something I did not receive at such a level when I was
teaching middle school students. It is good to know you are appreciated. I am
looking forward to the weeks to come.
