Earlier this week, I finished my student teaching at Club Boulevard. It was a rough last day. I miss my second graders so much! I miss their silly giggles, and the way their faces light up when they finally "get it." They worked SO hard for me!
I seriously could never have asked for a better group of kids. Actually, I could never have asked for a better cooperating teacher, either! I loved every minute of working with Anna. She's great with her students, and really let me feel like I WAS the teacher. She let me try new things, even things that sometimes failed, so I could figure out my strengths and weaknesses. If I turn out to be a good teacher, I will owe SO much of that to her! Plus, I walked away with a great new friend! :)
The kiddos all sent in money/ supplies and made me a huge basket of teacher goodies! I CANNOT wait to set up my own classroom and use all of it! Kenya seems so close, yet so far away! Come on, July!!
Here's just a glimpse of some of the sweet moments I will NEVER forget with my student teaching class. I love them so much!

I'm pretty sure J is actually a breakdancer. He help this pose long enough
for me to get out my phone, take a pic from behind, walk around him,
and then take one from in front. Crazy talent! |
It seems like so much is happening all at once. I'm done student teaching... I'm working on moving out of my apartment... I graduate in 2 weeks... I never thought college would pass THAT quickly. I feel like I should still be a sophomore, trying to get a life plan.
Student teaching only solidified my desire to be a teacher! Second graders are seriously awesome. Makes me wonder what teaching first grade is going to be like??!!!??!!
