Just a short post to update those curious about my Student Teaching experience. I just completed my 3rd week in the classroom and I am enjoying getting familiar with my new surroundings. Forest North is a smaller elementary school than I where I worked before so I'm having an easier time learning the campus and the faculty/staff which is nice for me. On Friday my professor visited the classroom to observe. I'm pleased to report that she was very positive and even passed along a compliment from my administrator which apparently is high praise from her.
Next week I will co-teach the Reading lessons and the week after that I'll be solely in charge of the Reading lessons. Each week I'll co-teach and then take over a new subject until I am teaching all of the lessons. My cooperating teacher will still be in the classroom for those lessons, however, there will come a time near the middle/end of my student teaching experience when I am totally solo in the classroom.
I'm a little nervous about writing lesson plans and then actually using them. I've written lesson plans for my coursework but I never used them so this is new for me.

Ah, yes. The old Lesson Plan thing. It's an interesting experience. I haven't done it on an elementary level, but with high school world history students, it was tricky to have enough to keep the fast ones busy without overwhelming the less-motivated and slower ones. . . . I think you'll do fine.
