...or maybe not yet. Anyway, had my second observation and totally rocked it. Which is good, because the first one I felt was rocky. And it was the same class! Oh, and they were excited to see me (which observing teacher noted)-- once I came in they were all, "Erica-teacher! Erica-teacher! Hello!"
Anyway, it wasn't perfect, and I made some mistakes, of course. But it is such a good feeling to have a class not only go well, but to be able to say, look. That. That is what I can do. I fully did my best, and I am proud of that. Any mistakes I have made are fully my own, and they are due to things I have not yet learned rather than crappy luck or anything else. (You could argue that ideally one could handle anything chance threw at you, but really, there is still that element of chance there.) Anyway, it is a good feeling, and one I've never had after an observation lesson.
Also the kids got a bit rowdy at the end but the observing teacher had already left, ha-ha!
