Debrief from Classes - Observed 3 teachers (1 female, 2 males) in two subject areas (math 1, 3, 4 & Language Arts) differing in all grade levels (6-8th Grade).  Every teacher has his/her style of teaching, and his/her personality comes out in the teaching and classroom management.  Each room layout is completely different from each other.  My take away from the day is to do what fits me as a teacher, and don't be afraid to try new things out.  Learning to teach is a process, and it won't be perfect.

After school I went to the Salem-Keizer office, which wasn't too far from Waldo. And it turns out to be right next to McKay High School. Waldo feeds into McKay, and there are several people in my cohort placed at McKay.  Here's my fancy new badge:

I'm official now!

And of course I had to grab boba! My favorite bubble tea is Taro with Lychee jelly. yuuuummm!!! It hit the stop today, since it got up to 95˚F.

Overall feelings... after the School Partner Workshop in the evening... I am feeling a bit more comfortable with the idea of Student-Teaching next February. I am planning to be out at the school as much as possible... depending on my schedule... so that the students are still familiar with me, and won't be in total shock when I go to teach the class!  The next day I'll be at Waldo will be NEXT Thursday! I may start leading the warm-up in some classes. :) I'm ready to go right now...
