And so very busy it was. Between school, work, and babysitting, I didn't get very much free time, which is why I have yet to post until today.
I am currently posting from an 11th grade English classroom, where I am doing some of my field observations. It is pretty silent in here, except for the tapping of keyboards. Each student has been given a laptop (chromebook) in order to begin their research on their research paper.
They are trying to figure out exactly what kind of topic they wish to do. My fabulous cooperating teacher, gave them a handout, which will help them figure out their thoughts.
Being in a high school is very different than middle school. Being here during summer school is very different then the normal school year.
The kids that are here, had to pay to be here, they are retaking a class to either get ahead or to keep from falling behind. At first glance it is hard to figure out who is who. This class seems to be made up of some pretty interesting individuals.
I'm sad that I will only be here one more day, but I do think I wouldn't mind teaching summer school in the future.
Another awesome thing is that my 12 grade English teacher is here as an administrator. She was my inspiration to become a teacher. It was really cool to see her again, but it was even cooler to have her remember me.
There are 12 more minutes left in this school day. Then I must go home and get ready to go to my own school and learn more about what it means to be a teacher.
Until next time...
