Intro.
As we now move on to the ending portion of my 5-week observations, I am tasked with stepping out of an intern position and into the role of a teacher. Over these days, I will be giving mini-teaches, and also the pleasure of interviewing the teacher to get a better insight into the thoughts of a teacher and their upbringing.
Whole Class: Favorite 1
One of my many favorite things about the class was that after every lesson, there were no complaints, no asking how much longer until next class, and no interruptions. This class was very self-disciplined and gave it a very welcoming vibe.
Whole Class: Favorite 2
My second favorite is whenever I was teaching, the students gave a ton of feedback. There was never a time when I got done explaining something that the students wouldn't comment on, thus giving the classroom a flowing and engaging environment.
Focus on the Teacher: Favorite Method 1
During the times I taught, Ms. Sweat ensured that all the students were very kind and professional. If a student misbehaved or made a rude comment, she would step in to help keep me on track.

Ms. Sweat also helped me try to remember all the students' names to connect more with the students. I feel that it is best to call a student by their name instead of saying "you" or "the kid in the back"; it gives a feeling that you don't care, for which I'm glad I had help in this category.
Overall: Impact on Your Career in Teaching
These observations have truly impacted my inspiration to teach, though I have decided to switch subjects, my interest in education stays strong.
Conclusion
Overall, this experience gave me a clear picture of what kind of teacher I hope to become one who creates a welcoming, engaging, and respectful space for every student.
