Let's see where I left off. Sorry I have not blogged in a little while. I have been sick and thus have missed some of my grad classes and my internship. On a positive note, everyone has been so helpful and understanding in working with me to make up my work. My mentor also covered my classes for me while I was out which I was so grateful for. I went back to school on Monday and was observed by my supervisor. I was extremely nervous how it would go after having missed a week of school and the fact I was still not 100% and it was a short week. Luckily it went pretty well and my students were cute. One of my students high-fived me to welcome me back. Some even commented how dedicated I was by coming in when I was still not feeling well. So even though it probably was not my best day, I really felt a connection with my students which is so important to me. Monday, was the last official day of the quarter so I had to calculate their 2nd quarter grades. I am happy to report many of my students are doing much better this quarter and I am so proud of them. It is amazing how rewarding it is to see such a huge improvement in some of my students and I cannot wait to share that with them when we return.
So I mentioned this week is a Regents week. Tuesday-Friday of this week January Regents exams are being held and for those not taking Regents exams, they do not need to report to school. The Living Environment Regents exam was held Tuesday morning. I had the opportunity to proctor my first Regents exam and to work with the committee of teachers as they graded these exams. This was a valuable experience because it was helpful to see what types of questions students asked on the exams and where they got stuck. To see the grading process it was interesting to see the process, how the Regents set forth to grade the exams and how the students actually responded. I am glad to have gotten the opportunity to do this so I am prepared for my students taking the Regents in June. Now I have the rest of the week off to try and get caught up on life and homework and hopefully get myself back up to speed so I can hit the ground running on Monday.
Well that is it for now. If you have questions, comments, please post a comment, it would be nice to hear from you!
