Friday was my last day of student teaching. It was very emotional and so hard to say goodbye to my awesome class. The past 11 weeks have been so amazing. Amazingly busy, amazingly stressful, amazingly fun, amazingly rewarding, and amazingly eyeopening. I have finally, officially figured out what I want to be when I grow up...A TEACHER! I wasn't sure if I would enjoy my student teaching or how I'd feel about this career path I chose. But can honestly say, I LOVE IT! It feels so natural and it is so rewarding.
Each of my students presented me with a homemade card on my last day. They each had a turn to come up and read their card to me and give me one last hug. I cried. A lot.
My favorite card of course came from my man Trent. It was so fun (and a little challenging at times) to teach Trent. We made some great memories and I'm so grateful things turned out the way they did. I'm gonna miss spending my days with Trent at school. Homeschooling isn't sounding so bad :)
I asked Trent to explain his drawing. He said everything in the left box is all the stuff I taught him. The right box is everything I didn't teach him, which is zero. Glad to know I taught him everything he needs to know :)
Here are a few other cards that melted my heart.
Apparently I am so cool, I'm the beast! LOL!
I also make dreams come true.
This girls really learned her adjectives, verds, and noons.
Can you see why I love teaching so much? Best first graders EVER!
My mentor teacher was the nicest man. On my last day he brought Lucky Charms and made me eat two bowls. He told the class it was so I would get very "lucky" and find a job.
Next post....GRADUATION!!
