...good teachers are priceless. They inspire you, they entertain you, and you end up learning a lot even when you don't know it.

One Week Down..... I'm EXHAUSTED!

I can now say that I have successfully completed one week of student teaching!! YAY! I love it even more than I thought I would. My 6th graders are great and I have enjoyed working with them this week. The only problem?? I am exhausted, sick already, and up to my eyeballs in work. It will all be worth it in the end.

This week, I taught four English lessons and four Reading lessons. Overall, they went pretty well. I just realized that I have to gain a lot of confidence and let go of my crutch words "um" and "okay."

I am sorry for there being such a huge break since the last time I blogged. I am just so overwhelmed already! EEK!

Stay Blessed
K (:

    I didn't know you had 6th grade this time around, too! Do you have the same class all day like me or do they switch out? I can relate about the confidence issue...I am not used to teaching older kids so I get more nervous with them than I do with the little ones! I felt so silly being nervous the first time I did small group last week. I've decided not to write in the blog I created for a couple of reasons but I am enjoying hearing about your experiences and I will continue to comment!

    Keep 'em coming! It helps me to anticipate my own student teaching stint.
