more ed 2500
This past week I started the 'observation' portion of my Education 2500 practicum. I am working with a grade 5 class. They are a great bunch of kids, and there is so much I can learn from the teacher - she has over 29 years experience. The purpose of this initial practicum is primarily observation so I will not be teaching full lessons at this point, but I do have many opportunities to do one-on-one tutoring and that sort of thing.
As a part of this course we also have two 'gallery visits'. This when our university class goes as a group to observe a classroom. Obviously, this has great potential for distraction for the performers in a classroom. For our first gallery observation we went to a school that has an adjoining room with a huge one-way mirror, which allows us to observe the classroom without being a distraction. It was like viewing a giant, wide-screen, reality television.

Well, at least you should fit in well... you still look like you're in grade 5! :)
Too true my friend. If I could grow a goat to add a few years to my look I would!
Too funny!!!
