Student Teaching - Week 3

I have been Student Teaching now for 3 weeks!

My second week was interrupted by 2 snow days and a 2 hour delay so I only had 2 days to teach. The first subject I took over was Guided Reading and really enjoy working with my little group. We are reading Stone Fox and the students love it. Some of them have never read a chapter book before and are starting to feel like "real" reader.

This week, week 3, I am teaching Guided Reading and Science. In Science, we have started a unit on Food and Nutrition. I have really enjoying researching and planning for this because the FOSS Kit has some really interesting and fun Investigations for the students. At the end of the week, we are starting an Investigation called the Fat Test - the students will find out the fat contents of 16 different foods!

So far Student Teaching is a great experience. My Clinical Teacher is very supportive and I have enjoyed planning with some of my fellow MAT students. I'm picking up Math next week - Probability - wish me luck!
