On December. 7th, last Friday, I visited Arts High School to observe a math teacher, her students, and classroom surroundings. The math teacher I observe was Ms. Kimberly Scott. I felt scared walking into the classroom. All the High School students was walking in with me. I was looking around for Ms. Scott, but i only saw students. Suddenly, I did not notice that one of the people who I thought was a student was Ms. Scott herself. Ms. Scott is so young, but "not in age" as she would say. I greeted myself to her and her students, sat down, took out my notebook, and reached for a text book under the desk. I began taken notes on the surroundings of Ms. Scott classroom. I like the way she had the tables and chairs in groups of three. Posters on the walls stating positive things and definition of math subjects. Ms. Scott was very organized; she had the objective on a big poster facing the students and she had a bin that said "homework" were the students drop it off when they arrive to class.
After Ms. Scott class was over, she sat down with me one on one. She wanted to know about me, my background, and why I have chosen teaching as one of my options? I felt like I was on a very important interview, but I love when people ask me questions similar to hers. Because I love my past and what I am trying to achieve in life. From Ms. Scott and I conversation, I learned that she graduated from Montclair State University; also for mathematical science degree with teaching. Once I found that out I kept asking her so much questions.
