Student Teaching

Week 11

I will rate this week at a 5. Everything went well for the week and the students were great. The only setback was me breaking a bone in my foot but I'll be okay!
Observe
This week I was able to do a STEAM activity with St. Patrick's day. It was fun for my students to create traps and work together as a team. This really helped students work on their team building skills.
Reflect
This week I learned from my experiences that lessons won't always go as planned, but it's good to go with the flow of student's learning and not worry about something being scripted out because that's not how teaching works. You have to do what's best for your students and their learning, not a strict procedure to follow.
Focus
My goals are still aligned by me feeling more confident in teaching. I have had lots of praise and constructive criticism that is making me feel better about not being perfect.
Be Productive
I could have spent more time researching educational articles and less time worrying about keeping to a perfect schedule, because in education things aren't always going to go as planned.
Have Courage
I was impacted this week by not paying as much attention to my artifact box as I should have. While I am still working on this and perfecting it, I know I could have spent more time with it.
Begin Anew
My first logical steps for next week would be to organize my NCTCS artifacts box
This week I analyzed math data with counting by 2's, 5's and 10's. I realized some of my students don't understand that counting by 5's and 10's is different.
Student Teachers: Keep up your hard work! The semester is almost over and soon we'll be doing what we love!
NCTCS
1e I demonstrated high ethical standards by coming to school early, dressing professionally, and showing professionalism through conversations with the school's staff.
2d I have adapted the flow of my lessons to make sure the needs of all students are met. The students with special needs were pulled to the side for testing and I personally helped them through each problem while asking them invigorating questions to get the correct answer.
3c I have integrated multiple content areas this week with science and global awareness.
4c I was able to use multiple manipulative in math to help students figure out the ones, tens, and hundreds place value
5a I analyzed a lot of math data this week so I am able to clear up any misconceptions for the next week.
I have started to complete my global awareness, resume, and classroom website
No support is needed at the moment.
Thank you and have a great week!
