Yesterday morning I had my first formal observation. I really didn't feel that nervous about it because I have been observed serval times before but I didn't want to disappoint the administrators. I felt very confident in my lesson but it wasn't till afterwards I got the full impression of how it went.
As I walked around my classroom after the assistant principal left, I found sticky notes everywhere! One on my computer said "Awesome Hook!" one on my papers said "FABULOUS VISUALS!" one on my Smartboard said "Great use of technology!" one on my overhead said "SUPER lesson!" and I found the last one by my door that said "You are a ROCK star!" The best note was the one she left on my desk where she told me she knew I was right for the job when she interviewed me but today I confirmed what she already knew. It felt so wonderful to hear that the administration is still confident in hiring me now that they have observed a full lesson. This job has been a lot of hard work but it is paying off greatly!!

The Musician
The fourth grade has been preparing for their holiday musical for the past couple weeks during music. This week one of my girls returned from music and walked up to ask me a question in the most serious, concerned voices. "Mrs. Knight, may I go get some water? I hit too high of a note in music." Apparently the music is more intense than it was when I was in elementary!
