Intern Week 5

This was my first week back at Skyveiw Elementary School. It was a nice change being back in an elementary school after spending 5 weeks at a middle school. I am in the MI room which I think will be a difference and a learning experience for me. This is my first placement in special education in the elementary school. It is something I am hoping I will really enjoy being that it is my specialization. Starting out this week I am really focusing on getting to know my students and my host teacher. She has a very interesting schedule so I am also trying to get familiar with that. The reason I say interesting is because she gets student throughout the day at different levels for different subjects. I have never been in a class like this so its something different for me. It is also something that makes me a little nervous when it comes the time where I am full time teaching and making the plans for each subject. I have discussed this with my host teacher and she insures me that she will help me which makes me a little less nervous. This Monday I started teaching the math for a group of four boys. This will be my first step in teaching the whole class. These boys are working on addition and they are in 3rd grade. My teacher told me these students are on about a 1-2nd grade level. Its interesting to see all the different levels of learning throughout the day. So far I am really getting to know and like these students. I'm honestly excited and a little nervous to see what happens while I am placed in the MI room!
