Full Time Student Teaching

Sorry for the incredibly long pause between posts. This entire month of March I've been teaching full time in my classroom. It has been... an incredible experience.

Let me start with my CT. She is wonderful. At the end of first week, told me how proud of me she is. My CT is constantly boosting up my moral and complimenting me. We work so well together and I am genuinely sad when I think about the end of my time in this classroom. I think that we will definitely be friends after this.  She has reminded me why  I want to get into teaching, and helped me realize my potential.


Next ,let  me bring up my kids. They are great. Crazy, wonderful, inquisitive, curious, and loving kids. Every day, despite any behavior problems, I leave ready and wanting to come back. Let's be honest, the kids really make your job as a teacher. We've earned our class reward. They choose a pajama day. The day of the reward, it was actually the perfect day to wear warm fuzzy pajamas, as it was a cold and windy day. :]

This was the banner to announce the winners of the
Human Body Unit, Question of the Day contest! 

PJ DAY!!! 

Friday we had a field trip to the NC Transportation museum. What an adventure! Because I was there, our class was split up the most. I took 7 kids with me on Bus 3. Within 10 minutes of driving, bus three lost two tires! lol It ended up alright. Apparently charter buses can drive safely missing tires. So onward we went. If you have ever been on a wooden roller coaster, you can imagine what that trip sounded and felt like lol :]  They called a mechanic to come fix the tires while we were touring. However, the mechanic didn't show up until it was almost time to go, so therefore, we arrived about 30-45 minutes later than we planned. There goes all of our extra instruction time! We rushed back to class, got packed up, and proceeded straight to computers. It was a little hectic, needless to say.

Here's one of the wonderful exhibits at the museum! 

Well this week would technically be the last week of full time student teaching, but we are just extending it to right up before spring break. When we get back from spring break, I'll be dropping off subjects left and right while I get the opportunity to visit and observe in other classrooms. It's so crazy! That last week of April/first week of May will be the end of Student teaching. Bittersweet moments ahead for sure.

Just me in some new teaching clothes lol
I really liked this outfit! 

Oh, and I'm starting the application process this week/end. Wish me luck!!
