Eventful Week

So, last Monday was my first day teaching all six classes and my co-op was not even there. It was a little rough starting out only because I was tired and sick. But, by the end of the day it was smooth sailing and I was loving every min of it. The sub was super creepy and all of the other teachers were worried about me. They kept asking if I was okay or not. I said that I was fine and I was. I was glad once he left though, I had some time to myself to think about the day and work on some stuff. Tuesday, well it started off extremely well until fourth period. I was helping a student with the machine and it fell on my picky right in front of a student. I went over to my co-op to ask for a band aid. It was not a bad cut but it hurt. Well she went to look for one and I asked if I could sit down. I went into her office and sat down while she helped the students. She came back in to check on me a few min. later and asked if I was okay. I told her that I was not okay, put my head down, and then my eyes rolled back and I passed out. She was standing next to me and caught me. Thank Goodness she was right there. I was only out for a few seconds. To me it felt like a nap. When I came too, I felt so much better. I was no longer hot, sweaty, and dizzy. My finger was still throbbing though. I think I almost gave her a heart attack and she is never going to want another student teacher after me. Well, she left me again and got the students ready to leave. When they left she came back in and took me to the nurse. I even had to fill out an accident report. Wow that was exciting. The nurse had to call my mom to come and pick me up. So, it was exciting that I got to go home. I then went to OIP to make sure that it was not broken. Luckily, it was not broken only hurt. I took Wednesday, off because I was still feeling sick and my finger hurt soo bad. But, after that it was all good. The week ended great. I love teaching all of the classes and I love that I am starting to form relationships with the kids. They are all so different and fun. I love that they are now starting to accept me as a teacher and are so excited to see me everyday. Its great to hear them all say hi when they come in and when they leave. It was also, nice that they were worried about me when I was out on Wednesday. I am so happy that this is the major that I picked. It is really the best time of my life. Yes, it is a lot of work for me, but it is all worth it. I cannot wait to begin cooking next week with them. Ahh. Soon though I get a new group of kids. I am going to be so sad when they leave. They are such a good group and as soon as you get to know them they leave. Well that was last week. I would have posted sooner, but I was feeling sick all week and just did nothing but sleep. Until Next Time....

  1. WOW Jess, you are such an exciting teacher. Maybe I would had paid attention to my teachers if I thought they might pass out. What a great teaching tool.
