I can't believe I have only been there four times. I feel like I have been there more then that. The staff at that building is so nice. I have had so many people greet me in hallways and say if I need anything to ask them for help. It's been great. I hope I work at a school with teachers like that. The principal bought Dunkin' Doughnuts for the teachers, which was really nice of him.
The field trip that we went on wasn't what I was expecting, but it was still great and the most important thing is that the children had a great time. Though it went past their lunch time, so the children were hungry and they were complaining about it. I had a few ask me towards the end if it was time to go home yet.
The children got to do different activities that were related to what astronauts do and the activities were all age appropriate. The bus ride there and back was so bumpy. We left for the field trip at 8:20 and got back around 11:50. We had lunch until about 12:20 then they wrote in their journals and me and Anne had to go around and write down in their journals what they had wrote. After that they had a science test. Then it was 1:10 and they did math counting for the rest of the day.
Anne did a small lesson today and it seemed to go fine. I was grading a test they just did and my Mentor was doing stuff with the other students on the rug while Anne taught the lesson at the reading groups table. The mentor teacher wasn't standing behind her or constantly watching what she was doing. If she does the same thing for me then I feel that I will do fine and won't get as nervous.
I don't have class on Monday, so I'm going to go in to do my observation and interview with one of the specialist teachers. I'm also going to teach a small lesson plan too. I'm explain more about that on lesson on Monday and then on Wednesday I will tell how the lesson went.
