Since I am registered in ED 348, I am required to do 40 hours of observation. Today was my first day observing in the middle school I was placed in and I absolutely loved it! The cooperating teachers that I was assigned to work with are so nice and they really enjoy their subject. Even though it was an initial meeting, I am aware that they are enthusiatic about getting their students to love the subject they teach. Social Studies covers a variety of topics and I am interested to see how each teacher tackles different eras in history. Although I want to teach at the high school level, observing in a middle school can open up a variety of possibilities that I never thought of. The students were a little hesitant to see me in the room but eventually warmed up to me and even asked for my assistance while working at the computers. I am so happy I finally get to observe!
I have so much school work to do in the next few days and I hope I am able to get through everything that I need to do. I am super stressed! However, being around kids during my observation is giving me motivation to keep going and not to stop pursuing my dreams of becoming a teacher :)
