This past week was so much fun! I had so many opportunities I wouldn't have done if I didn't have to do internship, I have been able to sit in and watch and be a part of how this entire classroom runs and works. I have been able to work with kids separately and as a group. I also got to design and create the board outside their classroom that the supervisor commented on!! there was a kid who was testing me but I pulled him straight back into line, I did have to become "Scary Miss Kim" as they put it but it kept him from getting in even more trouble with Mrs. Dreyfuss. I think over all my first full week was fun and a amazing experience and I am seriously considering teaching as a profession.
