So my conclusion is this, I needed to be humbled. I am currently being very humbled. Not that I'm humble, just being HUMBLED. Who knew student teaching would be so hard? I sure didnt. Who knew 19 little 1st graders would send me so close to my death bed or the insane asylum... whichever comes first? Just when I start to think I'm getting the hang of it, an oversized needle comes speeding my way to deflate my balloon faster than I can say "pop". It's ok though right? I mean, these evaluations will only follow me for the rest of my life, and lets see, those looking to hire me will feel real comforted by my complete lack of classroom management skills. Ha.
On a happier note, I sure do love my kids no matter how crazy they make me. One little boy, has a smile to die for. I don't know how to not smile back, especially when he is getting in trouble. And today, after studying insects, one little girl was so fascinated with walking sticks and how they can camoflauge themselves so they won't be eaten by their enemies. She was amazed by these little critters! How can you not love a girl who loves bugs!
Well, that's all for now. I'm prayin reeeeeal hard that I can survive this student teaching experience and find someone who wants to pay me to be this crazy everyday. But I never forget that "Life Is Good!"
Ms. Spradlin... over and out.
