Today I learned how to work a Scantron grading machine. It is not rocket science, but I feel really cool and accomplished because it is one more thing I can say I know how to work. I often help with making copies and running small errands if Mrs. Roed really needs the help. She is always appreciative of my help and I feel like a valued member of her classroom.
Most days I arrive at West about 15 minutes early and get to sit in on Mrs. Roed's "team" planning hour. I enjoy listening to the teachers talk about problem students and how they are going to fix issues with students. This short observation period is a great way for me to learn about dealing with problem students in an actual classroom setting. I like hearing about the different issues the team is having with particular students because I can be on the lookout for those behaviors while I am teaching in Mrs. Roed's classroom. The other teachers on Mrs. Roed's team seem to enjoy hearing my "views" about students, but I try not to interrupt their meetings with unnecessary questions or opinions.
