Reflect on your feelings before the students arrived, their first day of school, and two weeks after school has started.
~Mrs. Casleton’s Kindergarten classroom My feelings before the students arrived… I felt upset and nervous because I had to do the home visits for my students. I felt upset because I did not want to do the home visits, my opinion was that home visits are very private and that the home is some place a teacher should not go to unless needed. I was nervous because of my students and my host teacher. I am a nervous person by nature. However my whole thought process on home visits changed after I went to my student’s homes. I love home visits! I was able to put names to faces and see where the students need help in. I was also able to make a connection with most of the parents while I was there also. After the home visits I became very excited to have my students in the classroom. After many days of getting the classroom ready all of us (mentor teacher, aid, and I) were chomping at the bit ready to go. We had some last minute changes to the roster before the students arrived on Wednesday.
