Today was an okay day. Thankfully, I felt in a better mood than I have been most of this week as I felt less tired and more chipper. I’ve been feeling increasingly stressed all week. Today I had a new experience as I was invited to sit in on an ARD Meeting. I have never […]
Today I made three versions of the same quiz! I was asked to make a quiz for the Art I classes to take next Monday over the Printmaking unit they just recently completed and was happy to create one. I was then surprised when I was asked to create different versions, especially since the Color […]
Today was another tiring work day in which my entire day was filled with classroom management and assisting students as they work. I have found that I don’t like work days much. It is tiring on me as I pace the room and help students as they need. In the Art I classes I am […]
Today was the beginning of my second week acting as the primary teacher as if my cooperating teacher was not in the room. I found that I was much more comfortable and confident today and felt as if I’ve been the actual teacher the whole time. I’m not sure why that is since I’ve only […]
Today started off with an emotional moment as one of our AP students received an email from the University of Texas, the college she’s hoping to attend. She asked if she could call the school and we allowed it. Shortly afterwards, she returned and explained that she was denied from the engineering program, the program […]
Today started off as a pretty crummy day. I came to school with a headache and stomachache and found myself to be dizzy, fatigued, weak, and feeling warm. I was unsure if I would be able to teach today, but I stuck it out and ended up teaching the entire day. It turned out that […]
Today my university supervisor was coming to observe me and it was my second day being on my own with my cooperating teacher acting as if she doesn’t even exist. Yesterday I was a little surprised that when my cooperating teacher said I was taking over the classes, she really really meant it. She sat […]
Today was my first day acting as the primary teacher in the classroom. My cooperating teacher set up a station in the back of the room behind a large shelving unit where she can barely be seen. From there, she works on her computer quietly and observes me, writing down her feedback to deliver to […]
Today is the last day before my four-day weekend! I’m excited for the time off to catch up on work. I don’t feel like there’s as much to report on today as it was a work day for every single class period. In AP Art, we had only two students as there were two absences. […]
Today was a pretty tiring day. Both my cooperating teacher and I felt exhausted by the end of the day and felt ready for the weekend. At least we’ve got a four-day weekend after tomorrow! Our weekend won’t be quite a four-day weekend however, as V.A.S.E., the Visual Arts Scholastic Event, is this Saturday at […]
Today was a pretty interesting day as far as scheduling goes. Today was a Cougar Time day, so each class was cut 10 minutes to allow for a Cougar Time between 2nd and 3rd Period. This time is set aside for students to participate in activities while led by a student leader. I’m not entirely […]
Today was the start of a four-day week. I’m looking forward to the four-day weekend as it will allow me to complete a lot of work related to my Student Teaching and my Undergraduate Thesis. I’m hoping to complete a good amount.
Today was kind of the first time I was able to see some artwork from the AP students. My cooperating teacher announced to the class that she will no longer be assigning work because the students should be focusing on fulfilling their AP requirements. She’s expecting them to independently complete their artworks, photograph them, and submit them to the CollegeBoard website for credit. Because the students should be creating their own artwork for their Concentrations and Breadth, my teacher does not want to complicate the process with assignments.
