Weeks 6 and 7

The last 3 weeks have been crazy. We got a new student, which means there are 14 students now. It has been crazy how adding just one new student to the mix can turn the room upside down and change everyone’s behavior. It has also been interesting because the child’s IEP does not seem to really fit the child. Therefore the child has been shuffled around to different groups to see where they will fit the best. The student has also needed extra help because they will use to different rules and situations. On another note I have been running the room on my own and making sure the students are getting all the lessons they need in the day. It has been a lot of fun taking on more responsibility and getting to work with the students more and just getting to be there with them every day. I am very excited to be where I am because I have learned so much. I am looking forward to the next few weeks at the school!

  1. YAY! I am glad to hear that you are doing so good at your placement. It is fun taking control of the classroom. I know, for me, I am starting to feel more and more like a teacher. It is fitting into place.

    I am sure that new student is feeling just as awkward and overwhelmed as the teachers. I would hate moving to a new school in the middle of the year, theres too much pressure to get caught up and fit in. Props to that student!
