This week has been so much fun. I
get to the school right as recess starts, so I have been going out and playing
with them. I have been able to get to know the kids a lot better this week.
Before this week I was just the student teacher, I was just Miss.Ball. Now I
feel like I am their friend. I have really gotten to know the kids and the
teachers on a better level this week.
Situations I see as a win-win is
when I am teaching, and the kids understand what I am teaching. It is a win for
me because that means I am a good teacher, it is a win for the kids because
they learned from what I taught. A win-lose situation was a couple weeks ago
when I was teaching and I thought I was doing okay, but none of the kids
understood. It was a win for me because I was teaching and learning how and how
not to teach. It was a loose for the kids because they did not understand. A
loose-loose situation is when I am having a hard time teaching, and the kids do
not understand.
The tumor twins are competing and
comparing. Competition is a good thing, it makes you work harder, but sometimes
it goes too far. Sometimes it gets out of control, and you need to know the
line between healthy competition, and unhealthy competition. The other twin is
comparing. Comparing is never good. Never compare yourself to others. No one is
the same. Everyone has different strengths and weaknesses. Never compare, it
only makes you feel worse about yourself, or makes the other person feel worse
about them selves. Never compare to others, and make sure when you have
competition, that it is healthy competition.
A win-win for me and my mentor is
when I can teach and really get my point across. That would be a win for me
because that means that I am teaching as well as I can. It would be a win for
the teacher because her kids are being taught in a way that is helpful to the
kids, and the teacher.
