Today is the kickoff event for my first student teaching experience: My Practicum. For those who may not know I am in Highschool math teaching Geometry and Functions/Trig. There is not much to report on my first day. The students are generally well behaved. My cooperating teacher has a total of around 5 IEP and 504s in all of her classes. Also filed in uninteresting news I got my IT information put together, and my big unit plan will be on either Pythagorean theory for geometry or Logs in Func/Trig.
I did confiscate my first cellphone today. It was in the last 10 minutes of the day so it was not much of a punishment. I had the student repeat the rule back to me, warned him that next time it will get worse, and handed the phone back to him. For my real classroom I plan on installing a Faraday cage to block all cell phone reception! Perhaps I'll put the mesh behind all the posters lining the walls....
