Practicum Experience

So this week was cut short due to the snow! I didn't get to see anything new related to social studies in my practicum. For the most part all Amy and I do is help the students with their independent work, since that is all they do most of the day. I have only seen my practicum teacher teach one thing and that was a writing lesson. While I love the kids in my class and really enjoy being in the practicum, I feel like I am missing out on seeing quality teaching going on since I pretty much see no teaching at all! I am a little worried about this being that next semester is student teaching and I am going to be expected to know how a good teacher teaches social studies, science, and math. Hopefully I learn a lot from our methods classes and I get to see some good teaching from that because I wont get to see much from my practicum. While I think this practicum situation is great for getting us to work one on one with the students on their work, I feel like we are getting the short end of the stick with regards to seeing good quality teaching going on. I am sure things will work out and I will just take things as they come!!
