Three Blind Mice

There were three of us, Sami, Megan, and myself, and we were thrown in the second grade class to fend for ourselves. As soon as we got in there it was like a slap in the face. There was a boy named Bailey who was having "the worst Wednesday ever" and was definitely expressing it. He was throwing a tantrum, throwing things, tripping over a cord, and disrupting his peers. I immediately was drawn to this student. I was explaining to him that he was not stupid and that he could correct the sentences that were on the overhead. After five minutes of calming him down he was identifying errors and writing sentences of his own. We participated in reading and writing activities which really help me identify what we were learning in class. As far as today's class is concerned It was definitely rough. I do not know about anyone else, but I was exhausted.. I was ready for to lay my head on that table and snore the rest of day away. I was thankful that we were released early. I also was happy that I suggested to have our partners randomly selected. A lot more of you chose to do it that way and I am very surprised. It will allow us to really get out of comfort zones and get to make one extra friend. If you don't like your partner well then I guess you can blame me :) haha that's enough for now, Survivor is calling my name.

  1. Wow, that sounds rough! I thought I would feel more prepared but I realized just by that one day, wow - this is going to be challenging. Managing your own classroom with no help, I guess that hasn't really hit me yet. I feel like it will just be one of those things that will just come to us once we are in our own environment and everything.

    Good Luck Tomorrow! I hope it's not another bad Wednesday!
