This semester of school I am getting a taste of what teaching is like. I am taking a class that required me to complete 12 hours of school observations and 10 hours of volunteer time. This past Thursday I finished my 12 hours.
Monday, the 9th, I did the first 3 hours of observations at OHS. I went to Mrs. Karen Bush's Chemistry class. I did not understand what she was teaching the students but I did like the way she teaches. I do NOT want high school students. They have way too much drama and hormones, and ATTITUDE.
Then on Tuesday, the 10th, I went to Drake Middle School to Mrs. Shealy McKinnon's 6th grade classroom. That was an interesting day that I will never forget! Started the day off with a lockdown drill. That ended up going fine. Then they had class for about 35 min. The last little bit of the class time was in Book Fair. Fun Fun. Having been to my kindergarten son's book fair and going to a book fair for 6 and 7 graders, I had forgotten the difference in the two. Man do the books change! I truly enjoyed my 3 hours with Shealy. They weren't too bad. Some of the behaviors were yet to be desired but for the most part was acceptable.
Thursday, Last but not least, I spent a whole 6 hours with Mrs. Tamera Garner's 5th grade class. That was FUN!!! Having the whole day to watch the teacher's instruction, the classes response, and getting a feel of what a day in the life of a teacher is really like was just plain FUN!!! I can't wait to be a teacher.
I do appreciate teachers for what they do for the children who are our future leaders. I am so excited to call myself a Future Teacher. I want to thank Karen, Shealy, and Tamera for allowing me to come to your class.
