I enjoyed this week in class. On Tuesday I thought the teaching we did was fun. I felt like I could notice improvement in myself even since the last time I taught. It was good to see that I'm improving as a teacher.

We visited Vista Heights Jr. High today and I started in the woodshop classroom. It was so cool to see all the kids so engaged in their project. They were making boomerangs and it looked like almost every kid was engaged and really enjoying their project. As I watched the teacher I saw things I like about his teaching style and things I didn't like. He had a hard time controlling his classroom. His kids were loud and he didn't do a good job of controlling them. This was in class after the woodshop. He was a great woodshop teacher and I could tell he loves his job.

I think it would have been better for him to help the kids see the positive outcome of what they were learning during his class session. He just started talking and didn't involve them as much as he could have.

Overall, I thought the visit was great and it made me more excited about possibly being a teacher.
