Day 1: already behind schedule. Shoot!
Just so this post (hopefully series of posts) doesn't sound too confrontational or seem to be harkening back to colonialism, here's a quick bit of background on a teaching "takeover." Over the course of the semester, I have to do four weeks of total instruction in the classroom. Of course, my master teacher is still hovering in the back of the room while I'm up front all day. I guess a "takeover" could be defined as when I get to pretend that I'm the real teacher. Or maybe I could describe this takeover period as teaching-with-training-wheels. Either way, there's going to be a lot on my plate this week.
You're a natural. You're gonna be great! Just don't let those 3rd graders lock you out of your classroom.
