Hello, strangers!
When I thought I was going to post my journey
step-by-step of student teaching, I had this beautiful picture of weekly
reflections to share with you all. Boy, was I wrong?! Student teacher Rule #1:
You will not have a life outside of classroom prep and college key-assessments!
This is where I was completely thrown off. I absolutely love the idea of blogging
and sharing my successes and failures (we all have those right?!), but it is
something that I have to schedule into my week. I will make it a point to do
this in my own classroom!
I need to take a deep breath before typing this.
Who knew a person could go over some of the most important 6 months of their
life in about a minute?....
Let's recap the first 6 months of 2014....
• We
didn't go back to school January 16th as planned thanks to the that gem of a
snowstorm!
• We
didn't have a full day of school until February.
• My
first graders are the absolute best students I could have ever asked for.
• My
cooperating teacher, Lisa, was A-MAZ-ING! We were like two peas in a pod (and
she was my 2nd grade teacher--SO cool, right?)! :)
• I
never thought I could learn so many little and big tips and tricks during
student teaching!
• Spring
Break was so relaxing spent with our normal group of tons of family and
friends!
• By
April I realized I only had 4 more weeks with my kiddos and that I had
completed ALL of my college assignments! (celebratory pat on the back and maybe
some silent LOUD cheering)
• May
2nd: Saying good-bye to my students was so hard. They had the most beautiful
party planned for me. Who knew 1st graders could be so sneaky? They had each
given me a gift to represent the letter of the alphabet. The amazing 1st grade
teachers pitched in, too! (I was with such an amazing group!)
• May
14th: I HAVE A JOB INTERVIEW & I GRADUATE COLLEGE! Bachelor's of
Science from Indiana University in Elementary Education K-6 (WOO HOO!)
• May
20th: Good news..... (shhhhh!)
• Too
much waiting and way too much anticipation....
• We
made it to June! How is it already June? Get to the point, Breanna!
• June
16th: The long-awaited day, which will be discussed in the next post! :)
Here's a look into some of my favorite pictures
from student teaching!
Can you believe they put this all together for
me?! I was in absolute tears!
This might not be as exciting to you as it is to
me, but these 6 months were ABSOLUTELY STELLAR! I cried, I laughed, and I
learned A LOT!
Here's to new experiences and a career that I am dying
to start!
