Field Placement
Last Wednesday, I received my field placement and learned that I will complete my practicum and student teaching at D.J. Montague Elementary School in Mrs. McClellan’s second grade classroom. This past Wednesday, I went with my classmates who are also placed at D.J. Montague to meet our teachers and team members that will be working with us throughout our entire student teaching experience. I was really excited to meet my cooperating teacher and visit the school where I will spend the next three semesters. My cooperating teacher, Dorothy McClellan, is very warm and friendly, and was happy to have me as a student teacher in her classroom. It is Mrs. McClellan’s first year teaching at D.J. Montague, and she has had a few student teachers in her classroom in the past. Mrs. McClellan showed me around her classroom, gave me her class schedule, and explained some of the dynamics of the classroom. I will start on Monday and am really excited to begin my student teaching experience.
