First Day of Observation
Today was my first day of observation in the art classes of 5th and 6th grade students. Although I had not stepped foot in this building since I was in the 6th grade and I had never met the teacher in person, I felt strangely at home. Being among those black topped tables, surrounded by art supplies and art vocabulary made me feel as though I was right were I belong. My cooperating teacher was amazing, patient and answered all of my questions. Her 23 years of dedicated service and extensive knowledge are astounding. I had such a good time watching her and the kids talk about and participate in making art.
This empty classroom looks calm and quiet in this picture, but it was filled with students all day who were very wound for sound! They learned about one point perspective and finished up weaving projects.
All of the counters in the classroom were filled with supplies and items used to creating

Looks fun! I start tomorrow.
LOVED the photographs! I am always impressed with your enthusiasm. By the way, in case you couldn't really tell, the class loved your lesson plans! Your professor did, too! Tell your aunt!
Just wanted to drop a line to let you know that you did a great job presenting your lesson plan this evening. I could tell that you put a lot of time and effort into that lesson plan. I liked that you received a lot of love from the others in class! Great job of color coding your questions!
Thank you so much; I was really appreciate that because I was sweating that one out. I feel good that the presentation went well and especially that it is done. I can't believe that I was so frightened of that microphone and talking on it in front of the class. They are so nice and encouraging.
My aunt didn't actually help me on this one. I got advice from my best friend's mom who happens to be a reading specialist. She game me some great tips and imput. Between her, my aunt and you I have had some really great guidance. My aunt has given me several pep talks when I felt at a disadvantage to the other students. I just made up my mind that I was going to try my hardest no matter how much time it took me. Thanks again for all your help and the late night phone call and pep talk!
Thank you! You and all the other students are so very nice. It is so funny that everyone liked the color coding. I do that all the time to organize myself and my ideas and never gave it a second thought! I get made fun of at work for that sort of thing- looks like I am hanging with the right crowd now!
I like how you included pictures in your post. Visuals give me a better understanding of what people are saying in their posts. Great idea!! Also, great job on your lesson plan last Wednesday! You did wonderful and will make a great teacher!
