So today I taught my second science lesson (yestarday was just a mini lesson, today was the real deal) and I was actually pretty nervous. I know I can teach and I know I love teaching, but being in front of a new group of kids and not knowing them really well yet is a little nerve-wracking :/ My teacher was also observing me and filling out an evaluation which also didn't relieve any stress but when it came time, the lesson rocked! The kids were engaged and volunteering left and right, I was really into it and asking them question and my teacher loved it! She gave me a perfect score!! I couldn't believe it! That made me feel so good, because I know how I did in Ohio but I wasn't sure how well I would do in a different state with completely different standards and methods of teaching. I am so glad the lesson went well, though so I know that if I do end up teaching out of Ohio I can still be an excellent teacher.
The rest of the day, after my science lesson (first thing in the morning) went by pretty fast. The days just keep going and before I know it, this week is going to be gone. We have a workshop day on Thursday so I won' be teaching, then next week we only have class on Mon-Wed because Thursday is our Zoo field trip and Friday is a teacher workday and then it's Spring Break and my Florida time will be half over! That's crazy!
The weather was beautiful today! For the first time since I've been down here I was warm! I drove with my windows down and music up.. ahhh it was great! I can't wait to get a tan over break :)
More updates soon!
Love and miss you all every day!
