This week, I spent both of my observation days just in Mr. Gmerek's Calculus class again. I've been staying past my standard observation time and continuing to work with his 5th period class during my free period before lunch... This is getting to be a minor problem though, because I enjoy it so much that I'm progressively getting to lunch later each day. On Thursday I was only halfway through eating when I had to head to class. I don't mind though, really I'd just rather observe all day. I'm continuing to see how each period, you get better at explaining to the students and predicting their problems/mistakes. It's really fun to try different methods of explaining each time you talk to someone, so that eventually you figure out just how much information to just tell a student so that they can figure things out on their own without just giving it away. Overall, I plan to continue with the Calculus observations past the end of this quarter, and see where it leads.
