Teaching is... AWESOME!!

This week is our week to teach. The students have been so good and so interested! I can’t believe how intently they listened and asked questions. When I showed them my power point on the art of ancient Egypt they couldn’t get enough. We have had such a great experience so far. I was nervous to teach on Monday, but once I stood up there the nerves settled and all was well! Today we made our papyrus… yeah a little crazy! The students loved it and learned from the experience so I guess that’s all that matters. On Friday we have a substitute and our teacher has asked us to prepare a longer lesson to take up the morning, so Apryl and I are planning extra. I actually really like planning and watching the students get excited about learning. I hope everyone has had a good time and is learning lots like I am!

I am glad to hear you are having fun! It is kinda nerve racking standing up in front of the students but it is amazing how it all works out and the nerves go away!

I think you are right, the important thing is that we learn from what we are doing. Our intern coach told us that we are about where a first year teacher starts out at. She says that we will always be learning. I guess she is right!!!
