The second placement.

So this past crazy week involved me changing schools...fun! Besides losing power being cold and trying to work on my home works I have be craving loads of chocolate. It might be because Halloween was Monday but I'm not sure. It was definitely nice having two days off of school, I felt rested and prepared. I also get to teaching at a school with one of my favorite people Colleen! Yay! So my school placement is in Ramapo, not too bad I am prepared for students to be mean. On Friday October 28th my seventh grade class threw me a party it was really nice and I hope that I can get back to see them. Then from there I had to quickly finish up two books for my next placement.
I don't only have one teacher but 2! at Ramapo Highschool. Mrs. Goldman and Mrs. Dranoff. They make me feel so comfortable and help me understand how to teach and I just love it! I really like that I get to create the lessons and my teachers trust in me so much that they will teach the same lesson to another group of students. Working with two teachers is very interesting because they have complete different teaching style. One is very structured and the other no so much. I also really enjoy that fact that I can incorporate different elements into my teaching. Articles, poems, short stories novels and plays. So much fun!
Hopefully I will have the strength to be me and the students will adjust and learn from me.
