I have very fond memories from elementary school of having student teachers in my class. They were the best thing in my mind at the time. Since I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher I always looked forward to my time to be the classroom student teacher. Today, that dream was finally achieved for me. Even though I have been in this classroom, with the same teacher and the same students for the past 6 months I was no longer the "intern" I had a new title and I am so excited to embrace that.
Gradually over the next 8 weeks I will be adding subjects to my workload until I will be teaching all day, every day. I spent a lot of time outline and preparing for my time in the classroom. I am beginning a new Social Studies unit tomorrow. We will be exploring Important People in American History. Next week I am adding on Science and we will be exploring Animal Life Cycles. Its surreal to me that I am already at this stage in my teaching journey. After this post is complete I'll be spending the remainder of my night lesson planning and brainstorming activities that would engage my students. As excited as I am I must admit that part of me is still nervous. I hope you enjoy following this adventure with me as I am eager to share it with all of you!!
