I have to say, I'm SO excited about this next upcoming month. I think it will definitely be an experience to remember, and I'm so glad I'll finally get to see what a whole month looks like in the classroom.
On Friday my associate and I were preparing for my month at Stevensville. We came up with ideas about how I will teach my first unit (on fairytales and fables), and how I will incorporate other areas of the curriculum (mainly art and drama) into this. We also moved the desks around in the classroom to "start fresh". My associate moves the desks around every month so the students get a chance to sit with other people, and don't always sit beside their friends who they like to chat with. During this time, my associate decided it was a good idea to move my desk (I have my own big desk in the class at the back of the room) to the front of the room (which I wasnt planning on doing until next week) so the students could see it being moved so they would realize that I will now be their teacher as well. The students were asking why my desk was being moved so it gave me a great opening to explain to them that I will now be teaching them everyday along with their normal teacher. It was so heartwarming to see how exciting the students were to hear this (especially my girls) so it just makes me even more excited about this upcoming month.
Good luck everyone! :)
