First Day with my Cooperating Teacher

Before my first day  in my ELL I was very unsure about working with ELL students.  I thought it would be extremely chanllenging for me but after seeing a vetern ELL teacher today I have come to the conclusion that it is still going to be challenging but more rewarding than I had orginally thought.  The ELL teacher I worked with today had a very good rapport with his students which I thought made it even easier to communicate with his students and he also spoke spanish.  The teacher I observed today has put in a lot of personal monies and time in order to ensure the success of his ELL students.  He geared a lot of the lesson towards the TAKS test and at the same time giving the definintion and meaning to the lesson speaking in both english and spanish, he didn’t discourage either he let them speak in which ever language they wanted, he was more concerned about understanding the material which I thought was also the most important thing.  I truely enjoyed this experience. 

Experiencing a Blog

I’m not really sure what writing a blog will help me in doing as of now but I am sure that this will be a rewarding experience that develops from doing this.  I am really looking forward now into going into the classroom and working with cooperating teacher but I am not as sure about my ability to work with ELL students, that is something I was not looking for.  So I’m thinking that maybe by participating in this blog it will set me at more ease with working with ELL students because I gain a perpective from my fellow classmates.

My first thougts about the block experience

My first thoughts about this experience are very optimistic and I am looking forward to what seems to be a rewarding experience.  It is very fast paced and a lot of material to be covered.  I have learned a lot of new things especially professional ethics that I think will come in handy.  I also think that the reading portion of the class will be just has beneficial to me as it will be for me in teaching my content area.  All though I feel very overwhelmed  my overall experience has been great and I am looking forward to what is to come.
