Life as Student-Teacher
School! School and more school stuff. I am currently doing my student teaching in one of the local elementary schools in the area. After we moved here by the lake, I hardly know anything about the place aside from my inlaws, not even the school district. When I first came to the main school in the district, I was surprised that they have separate buildings for K-2, 3-4, and 5-6.
I am enjoying every bit of the experience. I’ve been handling classes in Science, Social Studies and Language Arts. The students were drawn to me, to the point of messing up my classroom management. They liketo hang out with me on their recess and share stuff with me. I really don’t mind. Interacting with them is what I am good at.
My cooperating teacher constantly tells me to apply on the district as soon as I’m done. Especially on the building where I am right now. She said she heard that one teacher in third grade will be resigning. It would be nice if I could be on the same building. If I will be hired around the district it would really be wonderful. I would feel good as a person and also as a professional.
My next plan is to continue on the master program. I was thinking on either going in the Special Education or the Instructional Technology. If I passed the licensing exam on Special Ed and be certified then I just have to go on the IT field. Well right now I am taking one step at a time. In every step, in every performance, I love to do my best. So if opportunity comes on my way, at least there are people who can prove of my worthiness.
Of course, most of all I never forget to thank God for everything He has done! I am grateful for every blessing He has for me and for opening it right in front of me! He has truly shown his faithfulness!
