Perhaps odd but I have just started my blog. I will be documenting my days of student teaching in a first grade classroom in New Jersey. Yes, I began student teaching about a month ago but I have just decided to be a blogger. I feel so modern! :)
Recently I have began reflecting on my lessons- REALLY reflecting. Not just "I should have done this" or "That was great!" I have realized that refelecting really is a wonderful teacher tool. In my attempt to me a better reflector - or a "reflecting profession" as my University wants me to be, I will be blogging the next 2 months of my student teaching experience.
I have decided to call my blog "Pleasantville" because I like to joke that I student teach in Pleasantville, USA. Yes, like the movie. I have 8 students in my class which is unheard of for a general education class in NJ. The school is insanely tiny, with only about 90 children in pre-k to 6th grade. It's an adorable little community where everyone know one another. I feel like we should all be in black and white.
Anyway - I hope that student teaching will continue to be the journey that is has been thus far. It's had it's highs and lows but nonetheless a wonderful learning experience. But hey, learning is messy. I'll take what I can get.
