Today begins the documentation of my semester of student teaching. As of now I’m still on winter break, but I start back to school on Tuesday January 19th 2010. Right now I have to read four textbooks and a huge packet to prepare for the first 9 days of class that I have (including Saturday and Sunday!) before I begin student teaching.
The first placement that I have will be for 6 weeks at a third grade classroom in an urban school. This elementary school is the lowest performing school in the entire school district and a large percentage of the students are homeless and speak English as a second language. I recently found out that 7 of the students in my class have learning disabilities and the class as a whole is lower performing especially in reading where only one student is reading at a third grade level.
If you have any advice or comments I’d love to hear it!
