My Internship Experience
Week Seven10/19/2020 The last two weeks I was full time teaching; this week I have handed the teaching back to Mrs. Badowich. It feels weird to be back to observing her teaching and being more of a support for the students instead of direct teaching.
One Monday we had a full classroom; we still had some students missing but our classroom was packed and full with 18 students. It makes me very nervous with the growing numbers of Covid in Saskatchewan and especially in our region. In our classroom is it impossible for us to properly social distance within our classroom. Since the start of the school year we haven't had a full classroom so the risk of Covid hadn't had that much of an impact but with students returning to school and our class size growing I begin to understand the worries of other teachers surrounding keeping Covid out of the classroom. We had full class this week so we knew we needed to get a lot of work done so when the students missed more school days they were caught up from before they left. We focused on word rhymes and ten frames this week. We also reviewed in math every day of ways to represent numbers which I think is a good idea because it helps the students to review previous knowledge. It also gives the teacher a glance at what needs to be reviewed because the students still don't have a grasp on it. I noticed this week that the students need more practice on tally marks. I am starting to unit plan this week; it made me think of how much planning will have to be done when I have my own classroom. Internship planning is nothing compared to having my own classroom. That is one thing that I am worried for when I have my own classroom. So far unit planning has been easy and it has been easy thinking of exciting activities for the students to learn. One struggle I have had is planning activities along with assessment; working on assessment is one of my feedback notes. Sometimes I have an activity but then I can't come up with a clear form of assessment that the students would understand.
