I switched classes with the team teacher of my cooperating teacher and it was my first real contact with the class as a whole. I was very disappointed at the way the lesson turned out because it was very hard to manage behavior while trying to learn the students' names for the first time. I knew there would be days like this as a teacher but it was the first day that I felt lost during this placement. I know it just takes a day or two to snap out of it sometimes but it was more stress than I had been confronted with during my placements so far.
Wednesday started off a lot better but tailed off when my cooperating teacher had to leave for a conference about the QCATs (state tests in Queensland). Before she left I was able to teach the SOSE lesson to my regular class and it went really well. I taught the class for the rest of the day and it was a little bit of a bumpy ride. Overall, the class I have is great behaviorally. Unfortunately, they tend to be a little bit chatty at times. I did the typical Quickmaths activity and we discussed some of the problems they've been having on the Quickmaths recently. Tomorrow I'm teaching another Chance and Data lesson for Maths during the middle session. I'm looking forward to it but I have to go plan for it now.
