This semester.....

Pedagogy II is underway..... I have been placed in a Hoover City School with third graders, my DREAM GRADE! I was so excited to receive this placement! The game plan for the semester is that I have to teach science, social studies, and math. I have to teach 3 lessons in one subject, 6 in another, and 9 in the another. That's a lot! We have already begun our placements in the school and so far, I have taught 2 science lessons. The first one didn't go that great,and because of that, I think that the second failed as well. I don't know what I'm going to do to improve my teaching ability. I think that I am under a lot of pressure to teach the way my cooperating teacher teaches, and it's hard. It's hard to walk into someone's classroom and take control, especially when the students are used to their routine and the teaching style that has been used since August.

This semester is going to be quite interesting, and probably very stressful over all!
