My First Week

My first week at North Marion High School I was exciting and was an eye opener. The 6 other interns and myself came the week before school started to participate in meetings and to get a head start in the classroom. I found the meetings to be very informative but unnecessary for us interns. It was good to see everything a teacher does prior to the start of the school year. Every teacher is the school was on edge because it was the beginning of the year. Most of the time during the meetings was spent arguing over non major issues. I was glad though I came in early because I got a chance to talk to my teacher before the students came. It was good to get to know her and she could explain to me how she runs her classroom.

My first day with students was Thursday. The students were very excited to be back and we started the day with a pep rally in the gym. My host teacher was not there the first day but she explained everything very clearly to me on how the first day would work. My homeroom students came in the classroom and I began to read off the names. All the students just looked at me until someone said "hmmmm none of those people are in here". Then I begain to panic, and try to figure out what the problem was. I quickly learned that two homerooms mine and another one needed to switch rooms. Once this was taken care of the rest of the day went without an issue. Friday my teacher returned and everyone went along as planned.
