Topic- What am I most looking forward to in my field experience

I'm really looking forward to my field experience as a distraction from what has been going on in my life as of late.  It will be a blessing to see the little masked faces and actually being able to have some real classroom interaction.  COVID has effected all of us in so many different ways and we have all been robbed of actual, personal classroom experience.  I look forward to seeing ways that I can organize my future classroom and strategies I can follow that I find useful from my MT.

Another aspect of my field experience that I'm looking forward to is planning a lesson and seeing the plan executed inside a classroom.  I feel like the lesson plans that I had in field experience 1 and 2 were very personal, one was about dental hygiene and the other was about self value.  I feel that those lessons would have been better suited for an actual classroom setting, especially the one on self affirmation.  It's very hard to scan individual boxes on a screen to see if your lesson is reaching the students and I look forward to seeing faces looking at me, nodding in agreement or shaking their heads in disagreement.  

Lastly, I need hugs and I'm hoping that COVID has not thrown that out the window.
