I think I did a very good job when talking to Mrs. Perkowski and

deciding what lesson she wanted me to teach. She explained

exactly what she wanted me to do, so I just had to follow her
plan.
In the beginning I was a little confused, since my cooperating

plans. But, once we talked about it in class and I began filling
out the sheet, it became easier.
For this lesson I did not have to do much planning, since she
already knew exactly what she wanted me to do. I did prepare

for the lesson by reading the book ahead of time, having
questions written and spaced throughout the book.
I feel that I understood what my cooperating teacher wanted to
me teach the students. There were certain things that she
wanted the students to take away from this lesson and I think

that they left knowing what she wanted them to know. It was
an easy topic for me to teach and explain to the students since I
use it everyday.
I felt pretty comfortable in the teacher role. I think it helped

that it was not my first time interacting with the students, but it
was my first time in front of them all at one time.
While I was reading the book, I tried to look as I got to the end
of a page. Reading a book and maintaining eye contact is not
practical, but when I was speaking with them I maintained good

question to. I think that the students paid very good attention
while I was reading the book, as well as when they were
working in groups on their snowman.
The sequencing of the lesson went very well. We went from

that all of the activities lined up very well.
As I walked around, I was constantly telling individuals and the

What 3 targets would you like most to
improve?
1. Time Management

2. Quieting children who are disruptive

In the end, we started to run out of time since the lesson plan
had us working up until the next subject.
I feel that I used my cooperating teachers existing instructional
strategies and materials very well. I used her techniques to
quiet the students and also to make groups.
As I read the book I feel that I was enthusiastic and excided to
be teaching a lesson. I wanted to do a good job and have the
students feel as if Mrs. Perkowski was teaching it. I did not
want they to feel like it was not as good, since Miss Hess was
doing it and she is only a high school student.
What can you, your cooperating teacher or I do to help you
improve those characteristics?
I can watch the clock more and Mrs. Perkowski could let me
know when I have 5 minutes left.
I will have the aides monitor their students more while I am
teaching my lessons, so that certain students are not
disruptive and distracting to the class.
I will look at the ABC poster I made in class to get a wider
variety of words into my vocabulary.

3. Use more positive words
