Week One Done!!

So, I cannot begin to tell you all how much I love student teaching. It is honestly the best experience of my life so far. I am so glad that I stuck with this major, and never changed. My Co-op is amazing and I love her. She is honestly the best co-op anyone could ask for. She is the kind of teacher that I want to be when I get older. We are so much alike in the ways that we teach. She also, is very relaxed with me and my work. She is amazed at the amount of work that I have been doing. Which, is not really that much. I have already started my first Bulletin Board, and by the middle of next week will have four out of five Demonstrations done. Which, I am so excited about. I will also, begin my unit plan soon. I have most of the lessons already done for it. I just have to work on gathering information, and putting it all together. This is going to take some time, but I do not think it is going to be as bad as I thought that it would be. Which is another plus. I do not understand why I was ever scared about this. I have also, decided that I want to start subbing as soon as I graduate. So, I would love to start subbing on May, 20th. I also, wish to work at the schools doing the summer. Yes, all they do is clean, but it is a start and can at least get my name in. All of this is so exciting and I really cannot wait to start teaching on my own.
This week was my first week teaching on my own. I am teaching two classes both of them are 6th grade.On the 18th I take on all of her classes, therefore I will be teaching 6 classes a day. I am even excited for this. Wow!  I cannot believe that I am saying that, but I am. All of the scary feelings from last week are gone, and I look forward to going to school each day, and being in front of the class and helping the students is amazing. Today, I had them write a five paragraph essay. All of the students were upset with me, but by the end of the class they were not as upset with me. They said it was not as bad as they thought that it was going to be. I told them that I was not a tough grader and that if they follow the rubric they are going to get an A+. Most of the papers that I looked at were really good, so I think that they are all going to do great. I am looking forward to grading the papers. They are due tomorrow, so I will most likely start working on them tomorrow. YAY!! Well that is all for now. Until Next Time....
