Sarah Webb 11-19-10 Teacher Cadet

Today was my eighth day as a teacher cadet. As normal I thoroughly enjoyed my day

with my students and will be very sad to leave them in a few weeks. Today was a Friday so the

students had PE for the second time this week. I think PE is all their favorite activity to go to. It

was always mine whenever I was in elementary school. Since they go to PE thirty minutes

earlier than they go to any other activity during the week they go to the library directly after

and listen to the librarian talk about something different every week. While they were gone to

this, me and Miss Robbins went and made copies of some pictures of mugs for the kids to do

some winter based writing on. After that we went to get the children from the library. To my

complete surprise Miss Robbins looked at me and said she was going to the office and to get

the students lined up, take a bathroom break, and then go back to the classroom and she would

meet us there. My first thought was to panic. I didn’t think there was any way that I was going

to be able to keep up with 23 third graders. But I did. Thankfully these kids are some of the

most well behaved I have ever met so that helped me out a lot. As they came out of the library I

told one girl and one boy to gather everyone’s library books and go ahead and take them to the

classroom and then I told another girl to take everyone’s library cards up. Then together we all

walked to the bathroom. They already had a drill in place on how to use the bathroom so this

went very smoothly thanks to them. After that we all walked back to the classroom and they

got their books out on their own and got ready for whatever was supposed to come next. Once

Miss Robbins got back everything was all ready for her to begin teaching again. I left right after

she got back so I didn’t get to watch her teach history but hopefully I will be able to stay a little

longer next week and get to see this.
