So, I feel it is important to note that getting up in front of the class the first 2 times in my placement has been exciting and wonderful. I taught art and health. Two subject that I know a lot about and am extremely interested in. However, in the back of my mind I can't stop worrying about having to teach math next week. I also find it interesting that my associate teacher reminds us everyday that we will not have to teach math the first week. She wants us to get our feet wet in other subjects first. That is scaring me even more!!! I walked around the room the first day to help the kids with their questions and I remember the anxiety as I read the question and hoped I knew the answer. It was very simple and I got it-but can I teach it?? I am anxious to start and see what happens. I will let you know! I feel as though the anxiety I get trying to solve math problems (banking, school etc.) may be transferred into the classroom and it will hinder my ability to teach. Hopefully this will be a positive teaching experience. I will keep you posted.
