1st teaching (week 3) and being windblown!!

I taught this week for the first time alone. We did calendar math and spelling/phonics!! It was certainly an interesting experience especially the days I did in Spanish!! If you know kids since it rained pretty much all week they need some type of movement to express their energy! I had to modify my lesson plans so that they were active, the first day we played duck duck goose, the 2nd day we play "El Salto Ferzo" where we pretended to be Leaping Lions!! Each lesson was either over spelling or the syllables we learned this past week. Thursday I gave my first spelling test and the results were astonishing!! Friday I gave the sight word/ syllables test and I was a bit more pleased wth those results! This next week I will start teaching the entire Language Arts block and Monday I have my first observation from my McMurry Supervisor!!! YIKES!! But on a really good note McMurry decided that I could stay in my first placement until the end of the semester...even though I won't be getting paid like I wanted as the sub for my class I will however get the experience of managing the class alone!! We got to go to the fair yesterday and so that my niece would ride this one ride I had to ride it with her and her friend...yeah how I got suckered into riding alone I don't know!! We rode the ORBITER which rotates you in the air...yeah lets just say I held on for dear life so that I wouldn't slide around in my chair!
