Free Post on School Visits

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.
