So it has been three weeks since school started and I am still alive... SUCCESS!! It has been a long three weeks, but it has been a good three weeks. I have experienced successful lessons and lessons that didn't go too hot. I figure if I have made it through both of those then I have half way to becoming an experienced teacher!
Here is my list of things I have learned so far:
1. Your feet will hurt REALLY bad and I should've listened to my mom when she said that I needed to invest in some nice shoes
2. Middle schoolers are super funny and it takes a special person to not laugh at everything they say (because trust me, I want to laugh 90% of the time)
3. You can never take too many naps... after school that is...
4. Going to bed early is not a joke... It is a serious thing that needs to happen every night
5. It is ok to plan things the night before or adjust the period before as long as it is for a lesson that will make an impact on someone's life (my criteria for most of my lessons)
This has been a few stressful weeks, but I know that I do not belong anywhere else! I love my job and all the people who surround me!
