First Observation in Hannibal

Today in 6th bell I am getting observed for the first time by my supervisor, Mr. Nyman, a retired English teacher from the Fulton Junior High School by the way. He's half flaky, half a pain in my butt so far. Which is how I think my junior high best friend Carol described him over 20 years ago when she had him! He doesn't believe in the "teacher voice" as discipline, the opposite of my last supervisor. Well, it's been working. We'll see how it goes. I'm getting some knots in my stomach right now.

I really like my cooperating teacher and it turns out we do have quite a bit in common. Wish me luck.

  1. How did it go? I literally can't remember what he looked like. The name is familiar. I thought you did great with the Blodgett kids...but in Hannibal they have the luxury of analyzing things like the tone of your voice and whether it is too harsh because they are dealing with inner city realities.
