Every time being placed in a placement is always nerve wrecking. Will I get along with my mentor? Will I get along with the staff? What are the students like? For our placements we always started a few weeks after school started. This always felt awkward to me. I was felt like I was intruding in my mentor's classroom. This semester was great because I had the opportunity to go my placement and help my mentor set up her classroom and meet my students on their first day of school. This was very exciting to me.
My class is unique because we have inclusion class for Language Arts this is their first time doing something like this. When I found out from my mentor it made me nervous and worried. I had no experience working with students who needed additional support. You learn about it in school but it's completely different when you experience it in real life. My mentor reassured me that she would help me and that it was her first time teaching an inclusion class. I got to meet my second mentor on the first day in school, they both co-teach together. They way they work together is amazing :)!
