More about my classroom students...
So far, I have been loving my students. I have between 23 and 28 students per class and four classes a day total. The students are primarily caucasian, however I have one student who is African American and one student who is Spanish. I am not completly sure about other students' ethnicities, this is just my observation. The male to female ratio I think is about the same. There is one class in which there are about 4 more females than males. There are a few students who have some learning disabilities such as autisim and ADHD so I am practicing how to make their learning more beneficial and how to adapt to my lesson plans for them. There is a resource room for these students so that is helpful. Also, one student has a PSA and I am learning how to adapt to her being in the classroom with the student 24/7. Right now, I have no primary concerns on any of my students. I know that some of them may become a problem later on, but for now I am doing just fine. I am really looking foward to seeing students have an "awh-ha" moment when they understand what I am trying to teach. I think that seeing those students make the right connections to what I am teaching and what they understand, makes teaching worth it. I think that just even having one student make those connections is worth it and it is a goal I hope to never give up on. I am looking foward to the next several weeks of teaching!
