Describing My Mentor Using Sensory Details

When I think of the values that makes my mentor good at her job is her creativity. She's as creative as Picasso. Her creativeness makes her room shine like a bright yellow sun. She has a wonderful personality that motivates her students to learn in an entertaining way but also in an educational way. The important quality that makes her good at what she does is that she has a lot of patience. She's as patient as an animal waiting to catch his prey. I don't mean that in a negative way, I mean that she really helpful to her students and she helps them in a way that I can't describe how. Something that I'm proud of is doing my lessons every Thursday. Even though my second lesson didn't go as well as I thought it would go I'm still proud of my delivery. My first lesson went really well because I as a teacher felt that I gave a good delivery and they learned how plants grow.

A Wonderful Conversation

Yesterday I had like a 10 minute interview with my mentor's friend whom is also is a teacher at Futures Elementary School. Stepping out of my comfort zone didn't really go as bad as I thought it would go. I mean I new my mentor's friend but I never really talk to her that much, I say hi to her but not really talked to her for that long. Anyways I had a conversation with her and I found out that we both had something in common and that was that we were interested in science and teaching. She told me that she studied that subject for 2 years but them decided to become a teacher instead and yet have some sort of contact with science. I had a good time talking to her and I guess she did too. I told her if it's a tough job to be a teacher and she said absolutely . She said that she has to break her head of to think of materials that she would need to teach but yet find a way that will motivate them to do the work. She said that if she doesn't make the lesson fun that they will not be engaged and motivate them. I guess that my mentor and her think f way that will make the lesson fun but learn something at the same time.

An okay day

Today I wouldn’t say that I had an amazing day because I faced a challenge that by now I should have taken care of it. I am realizing that my shyness and my voice projection is the lowest quality of me. I did my lesson today and it went well but I had a challenge that I faced during my lesson. The challenge that I keep facing is when I read them a book, I feel that I’m doing a horrible job at it because my voice is not as enthusiastic and does not transmit positively to the students. I thought that I was not going to do a good job but I congratulate myself for doing the best that I can and should have done to benefit their lives. Anyway doing that lesson was a success not only did they learn something but they learned that I’m a teacher like Ms. Blake. Another success that happened to me was on Tuesday. I was working with a student one-on-one and the objective for me to transmit to the student was to lean how to write the numbers and say them out loud. When I was done testing him I realized that I had impacted his life in a way that would be beneficial to him. I was so ecstatic to find out that I was as important to their learning process. The one-on-one lesson went as smoothly as lotion.

Amazing Day

I just found out that I'm going to teach science every Tuesdays and Thursday. I am so excited but yet nervous on how I'm going to engage them to listen to me. Last lesson went well but I need to practice on asserting myself as a teacher. My mentor told me that I did a good job but she told me that I should also disciple n them so that they can understand that I'm also a teacher. Today was an okay day because I got to see haw difficult it is for them to refocus after the two week vacation.
ElD was as usual boring to them and could not focus. P.E went a lot worse, they had an extremely difficult time listening to directions . For that reason they spent all their P.E time sitting down and not enjoying the game that their coach was introducing them. I noticed that most of them had no idea what their coach was trying to tell them. My mentor got extremely mad at them and of course I understand how she feels like when they are not listening to simple directions. But other than that my day went well. I got to see another side of them when they are not focused.
