Overall Week
Throughout this week I was able to observe other schools as well as watch my CE teach full time and help him any way that I could! Saying this, I would give this week a 5 because I loved being able to help and see other classrooms and gain insight that I can incorporate into my future classroom. I was surprised at how different fourth-grade classes were! I observed another fourth-grade classroom at the same school and it was a completely different environment! I will continue to learn about things that I can incorporate in my future classroom next week and really try to make the most of the time I have with the students. My long term goal is almost complete because we are almost done with student teaching! I submitted all my material and now just have to present my portfolio soon! At the end of this week, our class is taking a vocab test on the math vocabulary that they have been learning throughout the geometry unit that is going to be important on their EOG testing. For next week I am going to spend more time focusing on applications and where I can apply back home. Advice for other student teachers: Really soak in the time we have left and make the most of it. Spend this time making connections with the students and really spending time with them- that is what they are going to remember.
NCTCS
- Standard 1
- During this week I was able to watch my teacher implement 1A by leading in the classroom. He was able to lead by example and throughout the week the students are learning about character traits of being a leader.
- Standard 2
- This week I was able to see my CE create an environment that was respectful and welcoming for all students. This is directly related to standard 2A.
- Standard 3
- This week I was able to see standard 3C met by watching a teacher use CNN student news! This was something that is specifically for students but directly connects them to global events that are happening all around us.
- Standard 4
- This week I was able to see all the teachers that I observed and my teacher use technology. This is directly related to standard 4D.
- Standard 5
- This week I have seen my teacher meet the standard of 5A by having the students take quizzes as well as the test at the end of the week. This is really going to give him feedback on what the students are understanding or what the students need more work with.

I do not need any feedback. I turned in my portfolio!
Bailey,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You are practically finished! I am so glad to hear that you had a great week observing other teachers and assisting your CE. I hope you are proud of all that you have accomplished this semester. Soak up the time you have left with your sweet students!
Bailey, I have loved observing other classrooms too! It's been so great to get ideas from other teachers who are out in the field and who have a few years of experience. I can't wait to see your portfolio presentation! It will be great! I'm so thankful we have been able to be on this SOE journey together.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.....A Job Well Done!! I am very proud of you!
ReplyDeleteIt has been my pleasure to serve as your University Supervisor!
Bailey,
ReplyDeleteI too did several observations this week and enjoyed them as well. I love getting new ideas that I want to use in my future classroom. You have done an amazing job this semester and I can not wait to see what great things you will do in Texas!
