Welcome to Rivesville! I have successfully made it through two days of school with middle school. Whew! I have to admit, I was a bit apprehensive about taking on this age group, but I think that I am going to learn a lot from this experience. I have three grade levels, so I think one of the biggest challenges that I will face is learning all of their names. Today, I tried my hardest to memorize all of their names, so I hope that my memory won't fail me tomorrow!I thought that I would be really nervous about full-time student teaching and am quite shocked by my unsually cool and calm demeanor. I think that Rivesville and Benedum have done an excellent job in preparing me for this experience, and I feel that I am ready to start teaching!
So far, I have observed Mrs. McCutchan as she has taught and have assisted as needed. Seeing how she runs the class will help me a lot to figure out how I will set up the class when I start teaching. All three classes seem like great groups of students, and I am excited to get to know them better.
Tomorrow is open house for the school until 5:30. I will have to start getting used to these long days!
