week 7: PRACTICUM 4001


                     FINALLY!!!!


PRACT 4001

First and for most, Practicum is my Best Course, both Academically and by personal choice!
This Year's practicum, I must say started off hectic as usually, but nevertheless as the days went by, everything were fluent. I sincerely enjoys Practicum especially at the school assigned too, because their some much that I can relate and adapted to. 
Practicum over the past years and to date, has tremendously transformed meinto the prospective teacher I am aspiring to become, yet there's always a need for reshaping and perfection, which I am always opened too. 
This week, has been a hectic one in that as prospective teacher, we're often told, "Prepare More but Except Less" I never really consider this as a motto, because a Prospective Teacher/ Register Teacher, it all comes down to us to make that decision and abide at it. However this week I saw this actually came to a reality, that of ( the holiday Diwali),frequent activities and extreme weather of Rain,

 which lead to quite a few disruption towards class time; where classes were extremely low in number of students, and not being allow to fully carryout your planned lessons. Nevertheless, I manage to maneuver around the challenges, by trying to fill in where some of my classes had free periods. So this was a Plus for me!



So far I haven't had any "Aha moment", but as times goes by I enjoying my Practicum 400.
As for, I felt in the classroom, as usually I don't a confident issue, however, one challenge I am often threaten by, would be time management. this is something that I've struggled with from time to time. I began to address this issue critically, that of timing myself for each objective,active and assessment. Thus far, as at for this week I saw Some Improvement, so this is sometime I am currently working on.
Generally, I felt quite relax and welcome in front the classrooms as the Teacher as for my content areas, its acceptable, however I am striving for excellence!! I often do ask for feedback from the co-operative teacher, which is sometimes "  Well Done!/ It was Nice, for a Change/Good Job/There's a Little need for improvement/" These feedback, has contributes significantly towards my development as a Prospective Teacher  and also towards my reflection as a Individual.
I am soooooo, excited and looking forward for the next up coming Two weeks!!!!!!

  1. Merissa, I am pleased to know that you are having an enjoyable practicum experience. Time management will always be an issue, no matter what job you do. You have to have a back-up plan for any job you undertake. How do you plan to overcome the disruptions that will come from various life events?
