Dull

There really isnt anything new to write about after observations. We havent done anything new. I try to pick a new perspective each day in order to discover something new, but its natural that I am used to the daily routine of things. Lately, I have been trying to focus on my cultural presentation. While thinking of a group to focus on, cheerleaders immediately came to mind. I feel that this would be expected though, and that many people have done it in the past. My next thought was the Poms team, especially since this schools squad went to nationals this past month. I really have no idea about Poms so I decided against that too. Its frustrating because I want to talk about something that I have previous knowledge of, but I also want to challenge myself and learn something new.

I also have to talk to my teacher about my focal student. I am not sure if she is aware that she should suggest a student or two. She is very unapproachable, so I may just have to email her. I want to use some of the worksheets from the handbook that we were given to learn about my focal student, but I dont want to make it awkward. These are 8th grade students; i think it would be easier if they were younger. Hopefully I'll be able to pass the worksheets out to a group of students to make them feel more comfortable. I feel like our teacher will not be very cooperative with this assignment. We will have to talk to her to allow some time to work with the students more. We were able to interact a bit with them during daily geography, but it wasnt much progress.

Lets see how next week goes....
