As today was the last day in the classroom, I have been verygrateful for this experience! There have been so many eye opening things happening in the classroom that you never are really prepared for until it happens. I have observed many great things that my cooperating teacher incorporated into her classroom such as usage of the interactive whiteboard, great read aloud sessions, small group work stations, etc. I could not have asked for a better cooperating teacher to work with. She really gave my partner and I a realistic look at what our future as teachers will look like and took us into her classroom with open arms! I also completed my last read aloud this week, it went great! I learned a lot of techniques and cues to use in the classroom to catch the attention of the students.
I can't believe that this experience is already coming to a close, it went really fast! It is crazy how close you get to the students in a short 5 week period. They made it hard to leave! I hope you all had a great experience and learned as much as I did in the classroom!
TRACY!!! I'm so happy to hear that you had a great experience in the classroom! I also could not have asked for a better co-teacher! Mine was so caring, and creative! She also incorporated the interactive whiteboard a lot within the curriculum, and had some great read-aloud sessions.
ReplyDeleteI would agree with you that it was difficult to leave today. The students were so loving!! I enjoyed it!
Can't wait to see ya back in class Monday! :)
I couldn't agree more Trace! My CT was wonderful, she answered all of my non stop questions and really cared about the experience I had. We also used the interactive whiteboard everyday, I'm hoping my next CT does the same! I can't wait to see how the higher level grades incorporate it into their learning environment. One of my favorite things about my CT was all the songs she had to get the students attention or for lining them up and walking down the hall. I can't wait to find my favorites and use them in my own classroom!
