This week!

This week I learned about the importance of having respect in the classroom. When I tried teaching in the classroom at Career Shadowing, a lot of the kids would not listen to me and most of them wouldn't even look me in the eye. So, I realize it's now hard for teachers to get their students attention and keep it for that matter.

Also, I had a bad experience with a substitute and I really think there should be some sort of a test that subs should do in order to be placed in the classroom. Because of this, it would be a lot harder for people to qualify to become a substitute.

This week..

This week we worked on a number of things in class. One thing we did was work on our cooperative teaching assignment. I chose to do Ms.Cullins and she wants me to do mine on the factors of the economy. Though I learned this in 8th grade, I'm still going to have to refresh myself on the material, before I try to teach it to the class. I was supposed to do my presentation on Monday, but I was sick so I wasn't able to get in there. Therefore, my presentation will be on Wednesday next week.

We're starting a thing about discipline. We have to make a brochure about what discipline is. I'm not really sure on how to do this assignment, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail. :D
