After a week of observing I finally got to teach a lesson. I was a little nervous but I think it went really well. I was told that the last class of the day will always be the most challenging because the kids are unfocused, wound-up, and ready to go home. There were a few disciplinary problems but nothing out of the ordinary for 3rd graders. My cooperating teacher gave a me a few helpful pointers while the kids were working such as "don't let them know you're scared....they smell fear." I still haven't met the principal or vice principal which is kind of weird but I am sure I will see them one day.
On a different note, in my efforts to stay awake after I get home from school, Morgan and I went to see Bride Wars....OMG such a good movie!!! You MUST be female to enjoy it though. Please do not try to drag your boyfriend/husband/brother/gay roommate to see this movie. They will not like it.
