Success Journal: Day 2

Establishing my role: I think this experience is a little different from my observations before. I’m not strictly student teaching or just observing so my time is spent doing many different things (talking to my cooperating teachers about the lessons, observing what practices work with different students, working with the students, and presenting my lessons). Getting into a rhythm took awhile but I feel now that the students and cooperating teachers are comfortable with me being in the classroom. They aren’t afraid to ask me questions and interact with me. If I don’t know the answers or need help my cooperating teachers are, as always, more than willing to help.
