Another week down!

This week went really well. I had to make a few on the fly adjustments to my lesson plans because of schedule changes. The first happened because the high school came during one of my classes to register students and then the same class period had a movie party another day. It worked out well in the end though.

Next week, I have my 2nd to last evaluation. I will be so happy to be done with this part! My supervisor is coming Monday, Thursday or Friday. I am kind of hoping for Monday. I am having the students act-out photos from the Civil Rights movement on Monday. They have to play the part of one of the people in a photo, and I am going to be a reporter that interviews them. I think a lot of them will hate this, but it will be a great learning experience. Hopefully they will learn from watching their classmates. Plus I really want to help them overcome their fears of being in front of a group. I've always had horrible anxiety about this, but I am now over this. Thank goodness for that or teaching wouldn't be too great for me.

There are things I need to work on still like classroom management. Mr G. was late today and I was a bit worried about being all alone with the kids. I think it would have been a great experience for me though. Plus the kids would have learned their limits more with me. I think, they think I am going to let them do whatever. Not going to happen, but I guess they could test me.

Another thing I am constantly working on is questioning. I do well with this if I plan it out and then make changes as I go, but I find myself struggling a bit if I don't have it planned out. I am getting better at doing this in the moment though.
