I Think I Can...

This Tuesday I taught my solo lesson. It was my first time doing so, and it was incredibly encouraging that it went alright. I was a bit nervous in front of a classroom, but it was only my hands shaking slightly. There were 11 students, so it wasn't really that bad of a classroom. I was really encouraged because it made me feel like I could actually do this for a living, whereas previously, I hadn't really confident that I could. So I was pretty excited.
I hope to have similar good teaching experiences.
I don't know where my placement will be for student teaching, but I'm excited to find out. My first choice is the Arlington Heights are. It would be rather convenient.
