I am a sophmore Education major in college (some of u may know that? *shrugs*). Anyway, this coming Wednesday I get to teach my first "mini" lesson to my class. I have a first grade class and I am sooo excited. I just finished up the lesson plan and sent it to my school advisor (the teacher I work with) for review. Yay! Oh and on a side note I'm very excited b/c I am going to the National Book Fair in DC tmrw!!!!!!!!!!! I'm such a book nerd....woo hoo! some cop chase show - court tv

Yea it was funny b/c they sat there and listened very intently and looked a little confused lol! But, they actually had QUESTIONS!!!! "Why are they blue?" I was like....."ummmmm.... ?!?" then my teacher jumped in and was like "that's a good ?, so Ms. Hall will have to go back through and re-read so she can answer it for you and that shows what good listeners you were." LMFAO! They're sooo cute!

I teach reading to first and second graders and love it! (Sadly I am home sick right now). It is always a lot of fun and never dull. I wish you all the best of luck in your continuing teaching career and am here to help if you need me.

Had my first lesson today and it went better than I thought! I was so nervous that I was sick to my stomach >_< I talked to my teacher and she helped me relax by telling me about how she was the same and if I was so worried about the results of my observation the results would only help me in the end. So I taught my 15-20 minute lesson and they both loved it! I was thrilled and it went smoothly. I was nervous so I moved a little too fast in the beginning, but it all ended with them giving me a few suggestions for the next time!
