Somewhere down the line in a classroom, I was bound to become a tribal leader. Right at this point you might be thinking "What is she smoking?" Here's the lowdown... I'm taking over social studies this week and we are learning about Native Americans who have lived in Fullerton. Tomorrow, I will be wearing a head dress that I made with a head band and feathers and I will be having the third graders sit in a circle and listen to a Native American legend as told by me. Hence...I've become the town "Medicine Man" or "Tribal Leader." Third grade is pretty fun. :-)
Other than that, my master teacher has commented on how engaging my lessons are. She brought up an interesting point that she's never seen in any of her student teachers. Apparently I am able to keep my students engaged during my lessons, which is terrific, but I haven't been able to keep a good hold of behavior management when they work independently. Is it possible that I am only a teacher when a teach a lesson? So...that's one thing off of my list of what to improve upon....now it's on to becoming a cookie that looks tough, feels tough but really is the chewiest ( made up word maybe?), softest, and sweet, and delicious cookie. What can I say...I'm in love with relating myself to food.
Back to preparing my lessons. Ciao!
