This week was a usual week. Planning is going according to plan. I am keeping up with it, which is a good thing. I am not really stressed about many things. However, some of my periods are very hard to control. I haven’t quite figured out what the best approach is to keep them on task due to the fact that I am still at a stage where I do not want to be the mean teacher and have everyone like me; eventually, it will eat me up. So, I need to work on my classroom management, namely the area of controlling my students’ loudness. I have used a few methods to gain and keep control. The one that’s has not worked has been using “I” and “me” statements; they sometime work but not always. So, I still am trying to gather up ways that work and don’t work.
Teaching everyday is nice. It gives me the experience I need while still having support from my host teacher when things go astray. I am getting more excited as my favorite time periods are coming up. The Revolution is one of my favorite time periods so I will be more enthusiastic about the time frame; although I am always enthusiastic, I just cannot help being more excited about this time period. AR is starting to come together. Check the action research area for an update.
