I apologize for slacking so much with my blog. These last few weeks have been busy for me and I haven't had time to post. I did however take pictures everyday of my outfits so I will post those but I don't have time to chat about what I did those days. Over spring break, I was able to get caught up and a little ahead so hopefully I will be able to keep up with my blog better :)

Day 39:
Today was the last day that I gave the students in the computer lab to type up their reports. Most of the students worked hard the entire class period and said that they would email me their reports when they were finished. I had one student get very upset with me over their grade. I wasn't sure exactly how to deal with this situation so I tried my best and then let the student chill out for a while. At the end of class, this student apologized to me for their poor attitude and we worked out a deal for the assignment that the student was upset over. Jen called the parent of this student at the end of the day and she let me listen in on how she approached the call. This was good for me to see how a teacher should address parents in a respectful manner. I hope to eventually call a parent during my student teaching so that I have a better understanding of how this goes.
Sorry for no outfit picture today. I was in a hurry to get to my evening activities :)
Day 38:
Now that the students have finished their entire experiment, it is time for them to type them up. Last Friday when I was gone, they were given time to type up their introductions. They had an outline to fill out for their experimental process and if they followed this sheet, they should have been able to write their introductions in under ten minutes. But as we got to the lab today to type up these papers, many students had "lost" their previous work or only had their title typed. I feel that three days in the computer lab is an ample amount of class time for the students to have. The students that used their class time wisely, got almost completely done with their report and will only have a smidge of work to do on their own time. I also decided to give all my students my email so that they can send me their reports and I can give them corrections. I'm really hoping that they will utilize this information. Only time will tell.
This sweater is absolutely perfect, except it could be just one inch longer. It covers my butt completely, however a smidge more clearance would be nice. I usually wear this sweater with my black knee high boots but went with my dark browns today. I would say I like the brown better.
Day 37:
Even though I didn't teach today, I was still able to help many of the students in the bio classes. I have a student that is blind that I've started sitting next to so that when she misses something written on the board, I can tell her what it was. This has been quite eye opening for me to see such a large difference in learning techniques. I'm also starting to pay more attention to the bio 2 lecture since I will be taking over for the next unit.
This outfit makes it's way back to surface again. I really just feel so comfortable in this outfit that I could wear it everyday and not be ashamed. The addition I made to this attire was the pearl necklace that my sweetie pie got me for Valentine's Day. This gave it a nice bit of glam.
And it was a little chilly today so I figured I'd share a picture of my new favorite knit cap. I could probably sleep in this hat I love it so much.
Day 36:
The students were all completing their projects today. I didn't have to do a whole lot of instruction today since they all designed their experiments on their own. I basically just walked around the room and made sure that no one was being unsafe and that everyone was collecting the data in the groups. I was impressed with the organization that some of the groups had going on in their set up. Of course not all the groups were organized, but there was a large amount that had a great system going. Ultimately, I was happy/proud of how hard my students were working on these experiments that they were designing themselves.
I almost forgot I even had this sweater until I found it in the back of my dresser. This sweater is great for teaching because it is a soft fabric and it has a higher neckline then others. I did wear jeans on a Tuesday but I would say they are my nicest pair of skinnys. And of course to accompany this attire are my Ariat knee high boots :)
Day 35:
Today was a work day for the students to get their procedures done for their independent experiment. I was excepting most everybody to complete their procedure today and to possibly even start their experiments. I had a couple students get done with their procedures and start on their experiments, and then I also had a large amount not get even close to having their experiments done.
Over the weekend, I had a students email me about the assignments and their frustration with what all was going on. When I approached this student in class, we worked out all their frustrations and set some time aside to work on the assignments. This as my first real interaction with student complaints and it went really well. I can only hope they will all go this well.
Today was the first day that I subbed for Jen. I had all the students to myself and that was a pretty cool thing. My chem classes were pretty simple since I have pretty much taken them over all the say. The bio classes on the other hand were a little different. In bio 1, we presented the rest of our projects and then I introduced the next unit of meiosis and mitosis. Then in bio 2, I had a full lecture on diseases related to autosomal traits. I was a little nervous for this lesson because these kids are so smart and I didn't want to not meet their standards. The lesson went great and they seemed be very engaged with my lesson.
I kept it simple with my pink baggy sweater, black skinny pants, and dark brown knee high boots. I wear skinnys and knee high boots often, but they are just the most comfortable when you have to teach all day.
