The progress is getting better each week. I am finally feeling comfortable to go up to the homework bin and grab the homework to grade without being asked. My involvement has increased because I am more outgoing and helpful with the students work. The students attitude's have changed because they used to be nervous and not talk or ask me questions, now they are always coming back to my table and show me their pictures and their books. The relationship changed between Ms Addison and I because we didn't know each other and now were really close and talk about everything. She talks to me about her life out of school. We have got really close and it makes me more comfortable.

I believe that in my rotation site I have made a lot of progress. Now in my classroom I am very willing to grade papers, take lunch count and tutor. The students attitudes are the same as they were when they met me in the biggining of our rotation. They are a very loving class and are very eager to learn. Miss Alice and I have always had a great relationship. We are very open with eachother and she gives me a lot of advice for teaching. I believe that this rotation has been great. I believe I have progressed and have came out of my shell and opened up to my classroom to where I am very comfortable in the classroom and with the students.

I feel in my rotation site I have made good progress. I feel more comfortable to be in the classroom and helping one on one but not enough to teach in front of them yet. They are teaching the children stuff I never learned so it’s hard to feel like I can teach them or help them in some areas. My involvement has increased I grade more, do a lot of one-on-one, and help the students more. Also the students ask me more questions and talk more but they are still shy. My mentor teacher and I can’t figure out if they are just shy or just not talkative. The relationship with my mentor teacher and I has changed we can talk more and she seems more comfortable to ask me to do stuff. I feel more comfortable now to walk in my classroom then before.

From the first week of my rotation site up to now I have made a lot of progress. Mrs. Hatfield has had me grade a lot of papers lately and doing centers. I take them to the restroom and to their specials a lot also. The students were unsure about me the first day but they have warmed up so much. The relationship between my mentor teacher and I really hasn't really changed much because from the start she welcomed me right into the classroom. I am looking forward to next week.

I have made great progress at the school, the students are very comfortable around me, and are not afraid to ask me questions. My involment has increased greatly in the classroom I now answer any questions that the students have. All of the students really like me and a few of the students randomly ran up to me and hugged me at recess. The students at recess have all decided to call me Bob for some reason and they fight with each other about me playing kickball, jumprope, and swings with them. I get along very well with my mentor teacher and I try to help her out whenever I can with worksheets, going over problems, copies, etc.

My involvement has pretty much stayed the same. my teacher thinks its my place to watch and learn. The teacher is still okay with me but I honestly don't see a huge change in the relationship what so ever

I feel that in my rotation site I have made good progress from week one. Just the one on one connection with the students that we have been able to create over the four weeks I have been there. The students have been able to work past the fact that I’m the new person and want to know everything about me and ask me all kinds of questions. They listen to what I say whether it's to settle down or stop doing something, and work with them on what they are trying to learn or answer. My relationship with my mentor teacher has increased tremendously from the first week to now.

I have made really good progress at my rotation site. My students are very comfortable with me and never want to leave me alone! My involvement within the classroom has increased greatly. My students attitudes towards is not bad at all. My students love to have me read to them and they think that it is funny to mock everything that I do. Also, they love to follow me around the room! My relationship with Mrs. Burrier has got a lot better since my first day. I feel that now I can tell Mrs. Burrier anything and she is willing to listen to everything I have to say. Overall, I love my rotation site and all the students in my class.

There has been a lot of progress made since the first week. I have got a lot more involved too. Now I get up in front of the class and help them out more. The students love me and miss me when I'm not there. The one actually got mad at me when I told her that I wasn't going to be there today. The relationship between my mentor teacher and me has gotten better. I feel a lot more comfortable around him now and don't feel as nervous getting in front of the class.

My involvement with the students has increased a lot! I love to be there and help them in any way that I can. The students are very respectful and mature for their age grouped. When I first arrived I felt uncomfortable at first but as the days and weeks continued I have felt more confident in front of the students and being with the students. I really love my students and I am going to be very sad when I have to leave them. I honestly think that I have been placed in the class and grade that I would love to be in and would love to teach this level when I peruse this as a career.

The progress at my rotation site has changed since the first day till now. I am more involved with the students and I am participating more. The students always want me to stay in their classroom. They also want me to read to them all the time. The attitudes of the students towards me are still positive. I really enjoy all of them and they are always so happy and hyper. The relationship between my mentor teacher and I have increased. We talk more and understand each other a lot better.

In the kindergarten class, the students really cling onto my side. They are comfortable with me in the classroom and they enjoy getting my help. The students have progressed in their learning and social skills the last few weeks. At first they were all independent learners and now theyre doing more group work. It makes me very excited to see them work hard.

My involvement from the first day until now has definitely increased. Mrs. Peoples is a lot more comfortable with me teaching lessons. She has a reading intervention period; she has a different home room everyday for this class. So, I'll watch her do it on Tuesday and Wednesday, then on Thursday, I get to teach it sometimes. The students are also a lot more comfortable with me. At recess, some students will just come up and start talking to me. It'll just be a casual conversation, but I'm glad they like to talk to me. Also, Mrs. Peoples and I have always had a good relationship. I was a TOT for her for a while during my freshmen year. She was also just one of my favorite teachers growing up. I think we're both comfortable with each other.
