The second time in the classroom I was a lot more comfortable with my teacher and my surroundings. I was more comfortable speaking up and letting my voice be heard in the class. We started with group work again and I was placed with the same group I had the previous week. Needless to say it was extremely frustrating. My experience with the kids was the same as last week. The kids were not showing me respect and were very disruptive. However I was not about to let them run all over me. It was still very hard because, one of the female students put her head down on the table and started to cry. She wouldn't read or speak to me. Now, I knew she was doing this to get attention and so I ignored her behavior. I wasn't about to let her get the rest of my group off task. I was still feeling discouraged as we headed to lunch. But right before we headed to lunch the teacher came over and had a private meeting with our group. She told the children that there behavior was disruptive and disrespectful. She asked the children whether they wanted to have teacher partners or not? She encouraged the children to think about there behavior and what they can do differently next time. I felt slightly embarrassed but also very supported. She told me how I was doing a good job and encouraged me to keep them more on task next time. I was receptive to what she was saying and took away a lot of good tips. Overall, it was a better experience. I felt supported and cared about. The teacher emphasized that the classroom is a team we are a family that looks out for each other. I am slowly but surely becoming more assertive and direct in the classroom.
