My field experiences have been great! Because I have been observing/participating in my cooperating teacher’s room, I have been able to establish a better relationship for when I take over her class in the fall for student teaching. (FYI-I am in a 6th grade Language Arts classroom.)
I do not have one favorite visit. I LOVE all of my visits. I LOVE going into the school environment. I LOVE walking into the Sixth Grade Building and seeing all the students. I am sure my overwhelming excitement shows through to the students.
I am learning new ways to deal with middle school students on a daily basis. Although I do not agree with all of the teaching techniques my teacher uses, I am gaining a different perspective as to why she does certain things. This learning experience is very necessary on the road to helping me become a great teacher in the future.
Your excitement as a future teacher makes me smile! It's contagious and your students will feed off of this as well. One of my own personal reasons for selecting Sahara Special as our read aloud...just reading about Ms. Pointy makes me happy and I want to exhibit some of those traits in my own teaching!
