Weeks 4 and 5

Week 4 I was finally able to get to teach my first two lessons!!! My model teacher and I agreed that each week we would add a new student to my caseload until I am teaching all 8 students. Week 4, was the first week where I got my first kid! We focused on the skill of conversation and making clear complete sentences. The first day, we talked about princess, and describing a few photos that I brought in and the second day we worked on cooking food!! Who cooks at our home, what is our favorite food, if we can help mom in the kitchen, really anything that was food related. The student just loved my lessons!! I wasn't feeling well on the second day but the child was having fun and that is a great feeling to see the child actually having fun and enjoying her/himself!

Week 5, my teacher was sick again! I tell you I am having bad luck to teach 2 consecutive weeks! However, since I didn't want to loose any hours in observation, I went to observe another deaf educator in our area!! I enjoyed the two days that I was with her, the children were so much fun and fun of energy!!! I really enjoyed those days, now its back to making lessons for week 6! Hopefully, the snow and the sickness will stay far away!!

My midterm evaluation is in about 2 weeks. I would have 12 lessons under my belt if we don't have any more days off!! Wish me luck, I am already getting nervous about!
