Jan 05-Jan16 Observation days

During my first day of observation I was very eager to learn all the things I took place in the classroom. I was looking closely at he outline for what was needed to be gathered and taken a note of. I was eager as a beaver! Soon enough I learned that each day brought more and more things to take note of and later I memorized by heart the routines and procedures.

For the next two weeks, I tried to keep a keen memory of names and faces and how they interacted with their peers. I surely did learn a lot even from watching a far. The students were very warm and excited to have another student teacher and constantly asked when I was going to teach them. The students kept me relieved that they welcomed others to teach them other than their teacher--who is awesOme!

Observing Ms. Kathy each day, gave me so much ideas, strategies and methods that can actually be done! The information I was being fed was overwhelming me; I asked myself and how am I suppose to come close to her teaching... Then again, I remembered from my other student teacher counterparts advice is not to compare yourself... But, but, but how can I not?! :] Ms. Kathy surprises me everyday with all the tricks she has in her pockets!
