Since the first week of student teaching, I have been a very soft spoken Miss Tran. It's great to build a connection with the students but definitely not great when you're trying and expecting students to get something out of your lesson. Today, I've come out of my shell as you can see I'm using our vocabulary from one of the stories that we read last week. =) During Excel, I told each small group, "You will be doing a silent word scavenger hunt by looking through magazines, cutting out words, and pasting it on the correct space. If I see that you are talking, you will be thinking of your own words and writing them down on your paper. So think about the choices you might make because this could be a fun activity or a boring activity." I turned and looked over at my master teacher and she goes, "Where'd that come from?" That's right everyone... I am setting my expectations straight.
Then, there was opera. Today all the dancers, narrators, musicians, singers, actors were separated. I ended up staying with musicians and totally winging it with the instruments and teaching the kids. My master teacher came in and I was just trying out the mini cymbals and we both started cracking up. It's hard not to be silly!
Seriously though, I am glad it is almost Friday!!! woooooohooo!!!!!
