It's Time for the Image Scrimmage! It  will soon be time to meet your new classroom of students. How you are received will be dependent on the first impression that you leave. In the upcoming weeks you will continue to prepare for your field site experience by being introduced new people, new places, new practices, strategies and techniques. They will help you "put your best foot forward" and leave a positive impression on your principal, mentor teacher, and others with whom you come in contact. From a librarian and a diagnostician, y ou will learn to make a story come alive for your students as well as what "secrets" must not be shared about your classroom happenings. From others, you will learn everything from how to dress appropriately in the classroom to making a fabulous introduction.

The next two weeks will include some fixed and some flexible components.
