Well, as you all know I had my observation today. I have to admit I was feeling okay until I actually walked into school and then suddenly I was a ball of nervous. But then, when as I stepped into my classroom I saw a beautiful pot of roses sitting on my desk, with a note from a coworker wishing me good luck ~ it made my day! (Thank you, Debbie!) Once my students arrived I relaxed a little as we got into the swing of our day.
The elementary principal and curriculum coordinator arrived around 9:10 (earlier than I was anticipating – that means they had to have left at 6:00AM at the very latest… wow!) and they left at a quarter to 10:00. All they ended up seeing was guided reading, which I was kind of disappointed about because I had some other really cool things planned which I was hoping they would see. Had I known they wouldn’t be staying until lunch I would have only met with two of my reading groups, then done my working with words and writing lessons and then finished reading after they left. But, they did say the wanted to see my “regular day”, so I guess they did! I also printed off my lesson plan for the whole day and also gave them a copy of my weekly schedule, so at least they were able to see what else I had planned. I felt like I did some really good teaching and my students were awesome – showed how smart they are and were so well behaved, bless their hearts! When they were leaving I thanked them for making the long trip over and asked about their timeline. They said that they hope to have a decision made by the end of the month, so optimistically I will know something by this time next week.
It is in God’s hands – I did my best and if I am supposed to get the job then I will.
