Week 1 Reflection

Today was my first official day at East Park as an Intern! This morning I got a feel for what the beginning days of school are like for teachers and, just as I expected, seem to be just as unpredictable as when there are students in the building. It's hard to believe that next year at this time I could potentially be a teacher at these meetings making preparations for my own classroom. I had the opportunity to go over the class lists with my host teacher, Kristi, and was able to give her some insight to the students I already know from a previous placement in a fourth grade classroom during my Participant Year. This was exciting for me, as I felt as though I was able to help her out a little as far as getting acquainted with the new students...using past teachers as a resource for gaining information about students was a recommendation given to me in the course I took on classroom management. Overall, I had a great day :)
