Last Three Weeks!

This week has definitely flown by. The students have really enjoyed being able to go home each day at 12:20 and I have enjoyed watching all of the different parent-teacher conferences. I really feel as though I have learned a lot this week about how to conduct a meeting. I also was very observant in how my Mentor Teacher chose to word specific things in a way not to make the parent, student, or himself look bad. He definitely has the trust and respect of the parents for the students in his classroom.

I was also able to reschedule the Principal Observation for yesterday during math. The lesson was a great lesson on modeling the Multiplication and the Division of fractions. The students really enjoyed the lesson and the principal gave great feedback along with the compliment that she enjoyed the lesson. This was great practice since there is a slightly different feel when being observed by a principal as opposed to my university professor. It simply felt great to be observed one last time for the semester.

I now have a few tasks left for the semester. My university professor wants to come by one more time for an unofficial observation, I have to continue with my notebook and reflections, and lastly I have to complete my portfolio. I was able to pick up my tickets for graduation on yesterday and it just feels like the time is approaching quickly. I'm very excited and I look forward to these last three weeks.
