Internship Teaching #9

Well into my research and I am experiencing all I want to handle and then some. Working with students (especially twice a day in 2 different subjects). Don't get me wrong, I love the curiosity of my students and I also love working with them in both Math and Science. It has come to a point now though that the students are doing the projects and from day to day, parts to the cars are getting lost, or they are forgetting to bring supplies to class. As the teacher, I try to let some things go, but there are times where my patience runs slim. I find myself getting upset with a few students from time to time because they have such potential, but have days where they lose their focus. I try not to let this bother me daily, but if the problem persists between the students and myself over an extended period of time I will talk to the student about it. I think that many students are enjoying having me as both their Math and Science teacher. The projects and their attitudes seem to portray this. I am enjoying getting to know my students strengths and weaknesses in both subjects. I think it is particularly cool to see how some students can excel in one subject, but not in the other. It's also cool to see how my teaching strategies are different from Math to Science, and to also see how some students react to these teaching strategies. I am anxious to see how the student interviews will go once the students have completed the entire project.
