i dare say...

yippee, i finally got called to teach. b'ville called me last night and today i taught a 1/2 day am first grade. the kids were so sweet. i had 2 practicum students from suny oswego and a ta that popped in and out.
it was a nice morning, jam packed with reading and writing, two thinks i feel very comfortable with.
the practicum students were a bit aggressive, but i didn't mind to much. i probably would have minded if it were my own classroom. not aggressive towards the kids but when i say aggressive i mean they felt very free to jump in and direct the class in front of me. something i would have never done as a practicum student teacher.
but maybe that's good, it shows initiative. maybe it was b/c i was a sub also, i didn't know the routine. they were both very complimentary to me and we go to chat a bit before the kids came back from lunch. that was nice. it's always nice to hear what's going on in the field of education from those who are in the midst of it....
