TP 2 - Self Evaluation

Hello all, During last week's TP, being my second TP, I felt more confident and at ease before entering a classroom. However, there was a slight twist as in the Form 3 Computing students went on an outing and I were to expect them during the 5th lesson for either 40 minutes or 10 minutes, I didn't know at what time they were coming!! Moreover, I didn't find the NXT robots fully assembled with sensors and motors and this drove me up the wall although I tried not to show it. Obviously, we tried our best and managed to assemble one NXT robot. When they came in and we started the activities, I excused myself for not having enough NXT robots. Afterwards, I kind of regretted excusing myself in front of students as I thought they might perceive me as being reluctant to adequately prepare a lesson. But, if I were to take on the role of a student, having a teacher reasonably excusing herself would have taught me maturity, responsibility and a sense of humbleness which are important in every profession.
