All in all, I had some great successes this week in the classroom. I was able to get a student to take ownership of not only his education, but also the entire classroom's education. I was able to get him to work the computer when we made a class PowerPoint presentation, and let the rest of the students "coach" him through it. After seeing this, my cooperating teacher said I was ready to take over all the classes of the day! Finally towards the end of the week I was able to travel with my cooperating teacher to look at baby calves in hopes to buy a few for our student's next year show projects.
One area I would like to become more successful in is having the same passion for teaching each class throughout the day, I extremely enjoy my classes before lunch. The kids are great, and participate, which makes it fun for me. My classes after lunch however are a much different story. The students are almost the opposite of the morning classes and are some of the most disrespectful kids I have ever met. Nonetheless, I just keep calm and educate on. I'm loving this thing we call teaching!
