Week 4

I went into this week a little intimidated by being the solo teacher with a subsitute. But I quickly could see that it was going to be a good week of learning and growing for me and the students. Things went really smoothly and I felt that I was able to come more into my own of being a teacher. I was able to try a few different things to help the class run smoothly, and the students really enjoyed the slight changes. THe students were trying to get away with things with the substitute, that I would catch them on. I think this really helped the students to realize that I knew what was going on and that I was in charge that they could not push me over. I felt that they really started to respond to me more and better, which made our time very enjoyable. I realize that I still have a lot to learn, but this week helped me realize that I am really starting to take off, find my own niche and I want and need to fly, and bring my students with me. They are a great class and this week as been great.
