Almost the end.
Now, since I am in my Block II, we go into the high school for observation and participation. I am placed at Central Mountain High School, the local high school here. I am in a 9th-11th grade math class where the subjects taught are Algebra I, Algebra II, and a PSSA prep class. I am in the classroom a total of 6 days. The first few days were mainly observation, where I saw classroom procedures and the topics currently being covered in the class. I then began to help out in the class, go over the bell ringer and homework. Last week, I developed a review activity for the Algebra II classes and on my final day, this Tuesday, I will be doing an activity with the class and show the students how to use the graphing calculator in order to determine intersection points. I have had a great time so far and have learned a lot of valuable information.
With the completion of my observation and participation days, the semester is almost over as well. I can't believe that it is almost time for finals and the semester will be over. I am very excited especially since in the spring I will be student teaching for the whole semester. I will not take any classes but be in the local high schools for the entire semester. We have a placement meeting in the beginning of December to see which schools and with which teachers we will be for our student teaching experience.
Not too much else happening here, just completing homework and finishing up semester projects. Until next time, enjoy.
