You send your child to the schoolmaster, but 'tis the schoolboys who educate him.- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Today is my first day teaching in the third grade! I have a wonderful new master teacher and I am very excited to begin learning from this new teaching environment. There are 20 students in my class, and I am going to be spending two full days a week observing and teaching in the classroom. The majority of the students in my class are English Language Learners, which will be a new experience for me. The children are from a very low socioeconomic population, which will also be a new setting. I can tell that there will be a lot of observations that will useful for the classes I am taking this semester. Here we go!
