For the most part I have mainly just been doing observations. But hey, don't knock it, there is A LOT you can learn from just watching people. However, when I haven't been doing observations, I have helped out with little responsibilities here and there.
One of the first things that I ever did was grade some math and spelling pretests. The teacher told me not the be scared away because of how bad they were. I wasn't, but they were pretty awful. But I had confidence in this first year teacher's responsibilities. I have also done quite a bit of reading with students one-on-one. I have learned how to help them when they get stuck, and I've learned to love their individual reading voices. I just can't even handle it sometimes. They are hilarious.
Mostly I just do simple prep around the classroom. Things like: sharpening pencils, getting materials ready for crafts, setting out assignments, putting papers in cubbies, setting up stations for activities, and mainly just helping the teacher and class out with little things here and there.
