Wk 3

This week so far I've done my second read aloud. I feel it went a lot better in some ways than my first read aloud did. It was a lot less nerve wrecking though, I felt a lot more comfortable and less nervous! I read The Waterhole by Graeme Base. It was a cute book with a lot of animals noises I had to make, which the kids liked along with my CP haha. The kids did get a little out of hand but I was able to correct them and continue with my reading. I do sometimes feel awkward correcting them because I'm not the teacher but then I think "but I'm an adult and they need to listen to me". I always struggle with finding my voice in the classrooms I'm in when it comes to correcting students.  I asked my CT about it and she said it's something you'll always question yourself on because you have to approach each student differently. She said she still has to think "am I being too mean, too nice, etc.", so it's good to know that I'm not the only one who struggles with that. Seems like it's an ongoing struggle for some teachers.
