Teacher Gone

This afternoon my teacher was gone. Our aide was doing her math group and I was teaching mine. Then the aide had to leave to go cover lunch duty. The math groups started to give me attitude because they weren't used to having only me in charge. I am not quite sure they saw me as the authority. The groups seemed to be squirrly becuase the weather is changing. The afternoon groups went smoothly.

It was nice to see how life is without my cooperating teacher in the room. I get along well with my teacher, but it is nice for me to be totally in charge. I have realized that my way of doing things and my cooperating teacher's way of doing things is different. Either way is not better or bad, but we are just different. My voice and style is a little quieter perhaps. It is exciting to think about the future and dream of having my own classroom.
