Reaction to school visit

I went to my first visit with my host teacher a week ago and i am alittle late in responding to this but I wanted it all to sink in. It was very overwhelming at first as the teacher gave me hand outs that the class was working on and quickly tried to explain this lesson plan for the day. When the class arrived they were suprised to see another adult in the room but also excited. The class was very active in communicating with the teacher. It was as if each student wanted their chance to be heard and their ideas to contribute to the class. There were a few exceptions to that as a few students who were either struggling or bored did not contribute as much. The teacher instead of trying to quite the students organized all of their ideas on the board. Then went into an activity hand out in which the students worked together to find out the answers.

All in all i had an amazing time and can not wait to get back into the classroom with the kids and help them learn and succeed
