One of my learning goals is to be more involved in the classroom during the lessons. Last semester, I did mostly observation. I was very reserved because I was in a new place with people I did not know. They were only 6th graders, but it was still intimidating to go into a new classroom.
So far this semester, I feel that I have fit in with the class a lot better. I've been around the students for a while and they have warmed up to me and will ask me for help during class time. I taught a whole class lesson which really helped establish myself in the classroom.
I look forward to teaching more lessons and contributing more during class time. I think I have improved a lot this semester and I have enjoyed my time in my PDS so far.
That's great that you are able to work more in your new classroom! What grade level are you working in now? I'm glad you were able to already teach your whole group lesson. I'll be doing that in a couple weeks. I've already been able to teach my small group lesson and that went very well.
