My First Day as a Teacher

I thoroughly enjoyed my first day as a an intern. My site school teacher is Mrs. Russell and she teaches 8th grade English at North Ridge Middle School. I walked into the class and they had already started their activity for the day. Mrs. Russell stopped them and let me introduce myself to the class. All the kids looked up at me with eager eyes and told me how they have already heard a lot about me. After I finished my little introduction, they jumped right back into their work. The students were reading a sonnet and breaking down the meaning of the poetry per stanza. They weren't shy to include me...quickly, some students called me over and asked for help. I was relieved that I wasn't left awkwardly standing there & went straight to the group of girls who requested my help. After we all finished the sonnets, we went to library and explored more types of poetry. My favorite part about being in the classroom was seeing the students faces when they finally understood what they were suppose to be learning due to my explanation. I loved it!! I am excited more my next day in the classroom! Check out Mrs. Russell's Website to see more of what we do daily!
