FIRST WEEK OF TEACHING PRACTICE
First Week of Teaching Practice: Setting the Stage
This week marked the beginning of my teaching practice, and though I only had one class each with 8E and 8G, it was an important start. I introduced myself to the students, and I must say, their reactions were quite varied. Some seemed curious, others a bit shy, but overall, they appeared eager to learn.
Classroom Environment
Walking into the classrooms for the first time, I took note of the setup and the seating arrangements. The classrooms are well-organized, with students seated in a manner that facilitates interaction and engagement. The learning environment at the school seems positive and supportive, which is encouraging.
Preparation for Teaching
Even though I haven’t taught a full lesson yet, I’ve been busy preparing for the upcoming sessions. I’m gathering materials and resources that will help make the lessons engaging and informative. I’m excited to use activity cards and graph paper exercises to make the topics more interactive.
Goals and Expectations
As I start this teaching journey, I have set some goals for myself. I aim to create a positive and stimulating learning environment, encourage active participation from all students, and make the learning process enjoyable. I also hope to develop my own teaching skills and gain valuable experience that will shape my future career as a teacher.
Personal Reflections
Starting this teaching practice is both exciting and a bit nerve-wracking. There are challenges I anticipate, such as managing diverse learning needs and keeping the students engaged. However, I’m ready to face these challenges head-on. This first week has given me a glimpse into what lies ahead, and I’m looking forward to making a positive impact in the classroom.
