A Student Teacher’s Prayer

Dear God,

As I do my duties as a student teacher today

I ask you to bless me that I may be an instrument of your love.

When my students tries my patience,

help me to be kind.

When they do well, remind me to give a compliment.

Give me strength so that I may be able to do my lesson plans every day.

Lord, let me always come in the classroom prepared.

Enlighten me with the power of your Holy Spirit

that I may be able to discern what motivates each of my students.

Help me not to judge my students too harshly,

to be fair to all, and to just keep it cool.

Lord, bless my students and help them as they grow.

May I teach them the things they need to know.

From dullness keep us away,

Let joy and fun be in the room today.

In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.

 "Gets?" My expression always during class discussion.

Classroom Observation

I went to observe a class today here in our City. It's my first time to do a field study. Here are some of the things i have written in my notebook while observing.

This Is A Morning Class

The teacher is giving an exam.

One student lost his test paper.

The type of exam is identification.

Students were told to draw and label the nail structure.

Students raised their hands to ask questions.

1teacher is to 55 students.

The teacher walks across the room.

She told the students to greet us good morning.

I smiled.

Some insults (ganganga!).

She is red in the face.

Class continues.

The room is near to the gym.

The teacher has to talk loudly to drown out the noise.

The teacher asked if students were done answering the exam.

Students answered "No" in chorus.

The teacher hovers.

I caught a student cheating.

I mean students!

In front of us.

Students were told to exchange papers.

Students talking.

Students checking paper teacher mouthing answers.

Teacher told students to keep quiet their job is to check.

Class concluded with a prayer.
