During my time in Mrs. Paynter's classroom, I have not only learned a lot about how a classroom works, but how I work in a classroom. I didn't spend a whole lot of time working with the children, but I learned how I reacted with the students, and how I conducted myself in a classroom setting. I learned the best ways to address the students and different ways to cover different topics, such as math, so that the students were able to understand. I learned some really effective ways to get the attention of students without distracting from the lesson. It was great to see how I felt when in the classroom setting, and Mrs. Paynter did a great job at helping me see everything about how a classroom is run, as well as made me feel very comfortable in her classroom.
Mrs. Paynter is a fantastic teacher that taught me and showed me how a successful classroom is run and what to expect when I become a teacher. I learned that teaching takes a lot of patience. I was amazed at how calmly Mrs. Paynter dealt with her students no matter how chaotic the situation was. I also learned how much time is involved in being a teacher. I know that it is a very time consuming occupation, but I didn't realize how much time she had to spend grading papers and preparing for future class periods, and that is just what I observed in the classroom. I'm sure she spends much more time at home preparing for work as well. Mrs. Paynter did a great job at being creative in her lesson plans. She continually approached ideas in her lessons from different points of view to help her students get a more rounded idea of what she was teaching.
Mrs. Paynter is an amazing teacher who taught me so much about being a teacher. She showed me many of the roles a teacher plays and how to use her skills to run a successful classroom. I can now honestly say how truly excited I am to be a teacher in the future.
