"A" for Teacher!

Well Ladies and Gents, it's that time.

Student teaching ended on Friday. It was an amazing and special day. My teacher and my kids were so, so sweet. We started the day with presents. They gave me teacher supplies, an AMAZING scrapbook that makes me cry when I read it, a Smiley Grad Ball they all signed, as well as all the other 3rd grade teachers, and a few books. I just, can't describe how grateful I am for them!

From my CT and Kids!

I forgot to take a picture of my gift to my Teacher. But she LOVED it! I posted the link to where I got the idea below. Mine looks a little more rough than the one in the blog, but HELLO I got it from Pinterest, which means it could never be as perfect! http://everythingispink.blogspot.com/2007/06/teacher-gift.html

So then our day went on fairly regularly from there. But when we got back from lunch, I went to go make copies of the best poem ever written by a third grader (I will share later!). When I came back from making copies, they had put the cover up over the window, which was incredibly strange. I slowly opened the door and they had a banner up (Congrats Grad!) and had set up an ice cream party. Talk about incredibly sweet! I was so surprised! And of course, that about made me cry again. :]

This was in my basket, they know me so well! 

I have just been so blessed to be apart of this class. My cooperating teacher was just about the most perfect CT anyone could ask for. She was so sweet and caring and willing to help me in any way. I could not have done this without her. :]

My Grad Cap, all Decorated!

On Friday, I also had my last meeting with University Supervisor. I signed some paperwork. We talked. I shared my scrapbook from my kids. And then, she told me ..... ready...... I GOT AN "A" in student teaching!!! :]  After everything I've gone through to get this point, I am so excited to get an A!

Graduation here I come! 

On Saturday, I went to a job fair for Wake County. I drove up Friday night, got a hotel. I felt pretty professional and, dare I say it like an adult! I had a good time. I meet a lot of people, and I am hoping that it pays off! 

All dressed for the fair in my hotel room!
I had a king size bed. I had trouble figuring out what side to sleep on! 

Anyways, graduation is SATURDAY! We are having a party that night and it is going to be awesome! I am so ready to graduate! I probably wont post too much over the summer. I will post when I get a job, and if I passed the Reading (K-12) Praxis. Hopefully in August, I will change this blog from The Real World: Student Teaching Edition, to The Real World, Teacher Edition! 

Wish me luck! 

Oh and here is the best Apology Poem ever written by a 3rd Grader: 

I'm Sorry I Broke Your Feelings

I... broke you
feelings
and your 

heart. 

I'm sorry

I'm sorry. 

You were not
my type. So I

had to break 

up with you. 

I hope that made you smile!
