Interesting week

This week only being at school one day turned out to be very interesting. Our teacher gave use notice that she wasn't going to be there on Wednesday. Once we got there, the sub came up to us and told us that we could just teach math because she hadn't gotten around to looking at the lesson for that day. So Heather were on our own to teach a lesson we had a couple of minutes to prepare for. It went well, just wish I would have had more time to prepare so I could have helped the students out more. We managed to get through it though. However, we received an email from our teacher just today and she told us due to all the snow days she was going to have to move our plans around with teaching both science and social studies units. So now its up in up in the air as far as what we will be teaching.

Yeah, get used to this. You are a teacher now and we have to be the most flexible people ever. This will just give you good experience. The snow days have messed up things everywhere, it happens. That sux when you have to teach something you do not feel prepared for, but again, its elementary teaching. This is something we all will have to master to become a great teacher. We have to take something from the top of our heads, with no preperation at all and nail it.(with extra time to spare)! I know that this is not the normal way to teach, but we will all have to do this many of times in the future, you guys are just getting early experience. (go get em!) you'll become a better teacher from it.
