fire alarm

So today in observations we had a fire alarm. Oh, fire alarms, how we all love them. So, we started our lesson and then had to leave the building. Of course, all the students didn't take it seriously and were just gooffing off. So outside, once we were all able to come back inside, my Co-op teacher didn't let us go in right away because she wanted to talk to the class first. She expressed her disappointment in them for being sixth graders and not being able to even stand in line for a couple of minutes being silent. You could see all the students get that look of "i hate this talk" face. I felt weird being on that side of the talk. All I could think of was the fact that in a couple of years, that will be me scolding my students. It was definitly a reality check. I also got to realize that sitting in groups during class is not a good idea. It is so hard for students to not talk, which is understandable because they are surrounded by their classmates. I think either rows or pairs are a much better situation. Today was a very productive day, I was able to realize/learn a lot today.
