The observation went well. There are always things that I have to improve on, but I am okay with making improvements. I think that if you can't improve yourself, then you are bound to make the same mistakes with the rest of your life. The main thing is that I have to work on my confidence level, which I already know is a problem.

My host teacher told me yesterday, as well that there are some students in my 6th and 8th period classes that are not paying attention at all to what I'm teaching. She says that some of them are talking and somet of them are even singing silently to themselves. This is quite discouraging because I did not notice some of these things, and I don't even know what I would do in these situations. 

My host teacher suggested that I change some seats around and see what that does. I stressed about it all last night because I did not know who would be best sitting next to someone else. Today when I got back to school my host teacher said that I shouldn't be stressing. She said, "Gina, just move them and see what happens." So that's what I did. I shifted some seats around, and I just hope that I don't destroy my classes by doing that.

Why do I even care??! What's wrong with me?? Why am I so sensitive to these students? What am I afraid of breaking inside of them?

I brought up how I felt that I was being too nice to the students this morning with my host teacher. She said that basically I wasn't too nice or too mean. I guess that means I'm in the middle. She said that I should try being a bit more firm with them. Well at least I'm not a pushover.
