Welcome back, everyone. I hope everybody had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. I know I did, and it was a three day weekend because of the storm. Most of the time I love snow, but lately, I have become a little tired of it because my roommate and I have no plow and that means shoveling our driveway out, which takes a few hours. I hear that there is supposed to be another storm on Wednesday into Thursday, but I am keeping my fingers crossed for the weather to stay nice. I will definitely be bundled up this week though, especially since today got into the negative numbers.
This week has been very exciting, even though it is just Monday. I got more involved in the classroom today, and I have started taking over attendance and lunch count, and I also took over the read aloud. For read aloud, we are reading The City of Ember, and I really enjoyed reading it to the class. I also gave a small group a spelling test today during silent reading, and I was able to help my mentor teacher when he taught math and social studies. So far, I am not doing anything big, but that is okay. Every day I am in the classroom, I feel more comfortable and I enjoy it a little bit more each time I get more responsibility because this means that I get to know my students more. I also did bus count today and walker count at the end of the day, and I took home some math papers to be graded. Tomorrow, everyone should be receiving a letter from me introducing myself, and it will also contain a permission slip for me to take pictures and/or videos. Please sign these. They will be used only for student teaching seminar and will make a valuable asset to my portfolio that is due at the end of May. I also have a survey that I will hand out to the students tomorrow that they will fill out in class. This survey will help me discover the learning styles of my students, which will better prepare me for my lessons as I will use the information given to create lessons that are the most meaningful to my students.
Thank you for your patience and support, and if you have any questions or concerns, you can write to me at margaret.j.campbell@maine.edu. I can't wait to hear from you and hopefully, I will see you sometime this semester!
Sincerely,
Miss. Campbell
