Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing really well in the "field!"
Audra and I are loving it, but sometimes you just want to scream! :) We started our lessons this Monday and to our suprise we were going to have the class to ourselves and they said to go on with it anyways. So, we did! We succuessfully pretended to be real teachers for two hours. That included a vocabulary lesson, (in which I drew a four legged bird?!) who knew a bird only had two? I forgot until my class quickly reminded me! They are so fun and it is even more fun to get to know their little personalities. Some of our students push my buttons more then others. Other times they make me laugh really hard. For example, yesterday we were in computers and two of my students were complaining about how much they don't like the computer teacher. They kept going on and on and then I quickly told them to get back to work right as the teacher came back. My student started talking to the other really loud on purpose so the teacher could hear and was saying things about how much they don't like her and making jokes. I know it is not a laughing matter and they should behave better, but I did have to leave the room for a second before I lost it and started laughing at them in front of the teacher!
Our first lesson was very fun and went really well. We made a timeline of WWII. It is now hanging in the wall of our school. I will talk a picture of it and load it up here so you can all see. And, today we taught our second lesson. And the TSA or basically a Vice Principal came in to observe us. It was scary he came in almost 10 minutes before it was our turn to teach and I couldn't help but freak out... in the inside of course!
Our new motto is fake it til you make it! This has been my motto my whole entire college career and I finally convinced Audra that it should be ours! So my piece of advice for the rest of field, FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT! :)

HAHA Fake it til' you make it, that's what my drill team coach always told us to do, never let anyone know you don't know what you are doing. I think this works with our field experience, but I always tell my customers at work if I don't know the answers to their questions bc I have had it come back and bite me in the butt before lol. So, it's great as far as confidence goes, but be careful...lol Sounds like you are having fun, It is really hard not too laugh at the kids sometimes!
hahah Oh brooke,
You are one funny girl. It sounds like your having a blast and im sure the kids just love you! You have a million dollar personality and that is what makes teachers so fun, your going to be an awesome teacher! good luck with the rest of field!
Ha Ha... I know exactly what you're talking about. I feel like I rarely know what I'm doing! But it's so fun! I love it!
