Weekend Wisdom

As I have been student teaching, one important piece of wisdom I feel that I can offer based off some of my experiences is this: be confident in your lesson. If you seem unsure that it's going to work, then you're practically guaranteeing that it won't. The students will respond to your attitude, whatever that attitude it. 

I notice that on days I am calm, relaxed, and confident, the lessons and activities progress way better than the days I am moving walking them back from recess super fast and am tense. I see such a major difference, even if my attitude stays positive, my body language and ora that I am giving off speaks loudly to the students.
