Week four in Field

I cannot believe that field is over this next week! I am really going to miss it. 
This week my supervisor came and watched me teach.  I thought it was going to be extremely difficult, but  for the most part the students were well behaved, and I only had to deal with a few management issues. 
During our observation the students made a possibles pouch because we have been learning about the mountain men. After their pouch was completed the students were given a piece of rabbit fur, and a piece of leather to store in their pouch just like a "real" mountain men.  During my observation I was terrified that I was going to ask the students questions, and they were not going to know anything that we had been discussing for the last four days.  However, I had got a great self assurance when it came to time for the kids to answer questions they knew the answers! I was very relieved that the information I had been presenting to the students was sticking. 
On Wednesday a "real" mountain man came an spoke to the students.  He told them stories of what it was like to be a mountain man, and exactly what being a mountain man entailed.  This was something that the REALLY REALLY enjoyed.
I know that I am going to miss being in the classroom.  It has been a tough, but awesome experience and makes me excited to one day have my own classroom.
