Personal Thoughts

I recently finished my last week in the first grade classroom for Block B. It has proved to be one of the more enlightening events of my educational career. I was placed in a classroom with a teacher who has taught first grade for almost 30 years. She has so much experience with this particular age range and she was able to teach both my partner and I so much in the 5 short weeks we were there. She also had a student teacher in the classroom which proved to be very helpful as well. The student teacher was in our very same shoes just last semester, so she was able to help us with anything and everything we needed. It was very helpful to have the support of both the cooperating teacher and the student teacher. I really enjoyed visiting and teaching the first grade classroom each day and am really going to miss being involved in the classroom atmosphere. I am excited to get my student teaching placement and can't wait to start with that adventure in the fall!
