Day 2 of Student Teaching
Today was the second day of student teaching. I thought I felt exhausted yesterday, but today I’m even more tired. Today my CT was gone during the morning as well, so I taught Reading again. Today went a little more rough than yesterday due to some behavioral issues from some kids, but luckily I had a substitute teacher to help me micro-manage them. After school, I stayed for almost two hours. First my CT and I attended a PLC meeting (Professional learning meeting essentially). That was my first time at that, which was cool. I also met the other 1st grade student teacher today, odd enough we have the same names! After the PLC I went back to the classroom and sorted all the play coins I had earlier, back into their original sorted bags. I didn’t fathom how much prep there was every single afternoon! After all that, I ran to my student teaching seminar at CSS. Most Wednesday nights us student teachers, K-12, meet and discuss what’s working and what’s not. We also work on the edTPA together. Here’s to a 9 pm bedtime tonight if I’m lucky!
