Hey there all,
Yesterday I went out to my placement and met my TA and my future classes! My TA’s a pretty cool guy. He’s got over 15 years experience in the field and he teaches grade 11 and 12 Chemistry and Physics. I will be teaching his grade 11 Chemistry and Physics classes. Toward the end of the semester he might have me teach a few lessons to his grade 12 students and possibly a few lessons in Biology with the Bio. teacher next door.
Once again, I did not manage to meet the entire class on orientation day. This time it was not due to an outbreak, it was due to a ski trip. Of 21 Physics 20 students 11 showed up. Of 9 Physics 30 students, 4 showed up. Of about 19 Chemistry 20 students, 6 showed up. So obviously my TA did not teach them too much and they just worked on some homework that had been assigned. I was hoping to see how he conducts his teaching periods… but no such luck.
I will be teaching Unit C from both the Chem 20 and Phys. 20 program of studies this semester. I also realized that having not done physics in 7 years, I need to REVIEW big time. I was having trouble keeping up with the kids in their physics 20 classroom questions.
Enough rambling… forward and onward,
