Happy Day!!

Well on Tuesday I finally did my lesson on what plants is. I felt that every thing went well. When I was doing the lesson I was kind of nervous because I thought that her students were not going to learn anything. I was doing the less and every one was paying attention. I forgot some parts but I remembered them quickly. At the end my mentor gave me some feedback and I'm working to accomplish what my mentor gave me as feedback. The whole lesson went well and I really liked it. I hope that in January I can get some more hands on experience on teaching. Basically I now know what it feels like to be in front of the class. Its so helpful when my mentor gives me feedback because i know what I need to improve on.

Looking Forward to....

This is I think my fifth week interning at Futures Elementary. I feel that I am doing a good job helping my mentor with her students. I enjoy working their because I see now how teaching is a hard but yet rewarding work. At the end of the school day my mentor gets really tired but she says that she had a good day because her students learned something knew every. My mentor really inspires me to pursue my dream. On Thursday its going to be my last internship day and I 'm really sad because I enjoy being their. I'm starting to buy the materials that I'm going to need for the lesson that my mentor and I are going to teach together. I hope that everything goes well and that they actually learn something new. I'm looking forward to learn more things about how difficult teaching is but yet it's still rewarding.

Hands-on reading

Last week my mentor told me if I wanted to read them a book on Thursday. When I got to my internship I remembered the conversation that I had with my mentor. Like usual the students went to lunch and my mentor and I had lunch. When they came back they had math. Since my mentor was not going to come tomorrow she contacted a sub. Soon the sub arrived and just observed what my mentor was doing and how my mentor gets their attention. Soon later the sub left and my mentor had a difficult time getting their attention. Her students were doing a test and I guess they were not paying attention to what the lesson was about. I noticed that some of her students had a difficult time with the test while some didn't. At 2:40 my mentor and I were having a conversation about the lesson that my mentor and I were going to teach.

It's all about my mentor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really feel that my internship is going really well. My mentor is a really nice person to have a mentie which is me. I feel that my mentor and I are building a strong relationship. But I am starting to realized that I really need to open up and not be shy any more because in order to pursue my teaching dream I have to set up. I see my mentor as a role model to me because I want to follow her footsteps. I really like how she teaches her students and I trying to be more fun with the students. I mean I am fun but I guess my shyness gets a hold at me. I'm really enjoying every second that I go to my internship because I really want to pursue my teaching career. When Tuesday and Thursday come around I am really excited on what going to be in store for me when I get there. Her students really enjoy my presence there and I really like every single one of them. When I get my act together I'm looking forward to build even a more stronger relationship with my mentor.

Planning a Lesson

Today when I entered the classroom everyone greeted me like they always do when I go to my internships. Everyone went to lunch and my mentor and I were talking about how to do an lesson on plants. One week before thanksgiving break my mentor and I were planing to do a lesson that wold help me with my exhibition. My mentor told me that in the five minutes I had to talk about my LTI I should talk about the process I went through to just plan a lesson and teach it to the students. I feel that the five minutes are going to go by fast and I won't be able to talk about what I do in my internship. After school my mentor gave me a head start on planning the lesson and she also helped me. My mentor told me that on Thursday I was going to read them a book to help me feel more comfortable with teaching them a lesson. I 'm also going to continue to plan the lesson on Thursday. I need all the luck that would help me to go through the lesson smoothly. My mentor told me that
