This semester my placement is in a 3rd grade class.  I am enjoying my class, the students are willing to learn and we do not have any serious behavior problems.  My mentor teacher is very helpful and I am learning a lot from her.  I like the 3rd grade, but I prefer to to teach 4th or 5th grade.  I like the older kids.  I could teach 3rd grade but I prefer not to teach anything under the 3rd grade.  I hope this semester continues to be a positive experience for me and I continue to learn, so I can become the best teacher I could be.
