This week was another great learning experience I was the most involved in the class as I have to this point. It was a busy week and I was involved in a lot that  happened in the classroom. I continued to get experience doing morning meeting every other day. I also did another read aloud on a curriculum reading. This week I also got an opportunity to do a guided reading lesson. I learned a lot from doing all of these things. I learned a lot from seeing the vast level of readers that can be in one classroom. Having students of many different levels makes a teacher have to adapt and find a way to teach the best to all of the students. I have been getting experience using the technology in the classroom and I am becoming more comfortable with the technology especially the smart board. On the last day of this week my partner and I were able to have a great learning experience by pretty much being handed the reigns of the class when our CT was busy in meetings and with some co teaching. There was a sub for the morning but our CT and the sub thought it would be good to have us do most of the teaching since the students were familiar with us. So my partner and I pretty much ended up being in charge of the class for the morning and it was a great experience. I can definitely see how important all the experience we are getting is because if I were to be ask to do what we did at the beginning of the experience I would had definitely struggled with it and it likely could've turned out to be an epic fail, Instead I think we did a great job given the circumstances and it was a great success and the experience I gained from it can't be measured.
