Observation fun

So far observations have been incredible. The students, although all have their challenges they present, really are fantastic and surprise me everyday. Culture (what I'll discuss when we get back) is amazing at Glanford and will take a while to explain. My sponsor teacher has me working with Jazz bands (two of them we have), band 6,7,8 and exploratory music 6,7,8. Come January we will have a brass band for me to work with which I am creating from scratch at the moment. What I've noticed I've learned so far from my observation is self-preservation tactics, and extremely useful organization methods. So many things I figured I would do, my sponsor teacher has shown me ways to cut down on the amount of work, and be just as effective. Ive been allowed to teach a few warm ups and also some exploratory classes based off my sponsor teachers lesson plans. I could keep going for ages, but no one would read anything I wrote then. All in all, what a great experience, I'm definitely looking forward to January.
