Friday I finished up my week in Ms. Guthrie's room since the ESOL teachers told me that would be their last day of testing the students. I helped Ms. Guthrie with several things around the class, including making some visuals for a lesson. She also had me facilitate the rest of the class in centers when she was leading a small group. I always feel more at home on the third day in a classroom... it's a shame that I don't get to spend more time in there.
On Monday I was able to jump right into motion with Mrs. Stephens. She had me looking through lesson idea books and since she only had one student coming in that morning (a total fluke) she said I could go to the media center and work on my lessons. I was able to write 4 lessons that morning before 11:00! I was so happy! I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. After lunch she answered a few questions for me and had me assist her with preparations for a lesson she was planning for Tuesday. I wrote on the chart paper for her and cut out a few things, while discussing my requirements. She is a very easy person to get along with and I think I will enjoy my time in her classroom. Wednesday is my first day to teach a lesson with her. She gave me some great pointers and I'm looking forward to it. She gave me the name if a 4th grade girl that I'll be working with individually. I will develop a personalized reading remediation program for her and I to work through in the coming weeks. Now I just need to schedule some observations from my professors!
