Takeover

I am in full takeover! I now know how it really feels to teach all day. It is exciting, but very tiring. It is very different than observing for portions of the day! I really have to plan ahead and make sure I have materials for every lesson ready. It can be very difficult to transition from one subject to anotherĀ if you are not prepared. Luckily, my students are very helpful and assist me with any technology problems I have. I have learned that it can be scary to have things go wrong by yourself, but you just have to go with the flow. I have to remember that the students do not know what I have planned. Also, teachers are humans. It is okay to make mistakes, and I’m not afraid to make them in front of my students. I am lucky to have such a kind group of students now and I hope I have great students in my own classroom!
