Today my group was assigned to straightening up the closet, since its late in the semester that has already been done. Instead of being board and standing around we decided that we would go around the school and take a look at all the other groups. In a given day we are given a specific group of kids who we interact with and fallow around for the day. Today was different, I enjoyed going into the rooms where other groups were working because it allowed me to observe some teaching styles of my peers. I felt that by seeing the way others were interacting with the students not only helped me assess how I interact with them it also gave me some fresh new ideas to try in the future. Although I didn't spend a whole lot of time with my group teaching today I feel that this has been one of the most valuable days in terms of learning to teach.
It is important to learn different ways to teach. As you will see later down the road you will adapt your own teaching style. Embrace different ideas and styles.
