I've noticed a trend lately. I've been doing a lot of work at home between the hours of 8:30pm and 11pm getting ready for the next school day. What I've also noticed is that my cooperating teacher is appreciating my work. I think today makes the third time in the last 2.5 weeks that she has passed on what I have created to the other Language Arts and Social Studies teachers that teach 6th grade. I've made a powerpoint Jeopardy game, created a review worksheet for a test they're going to take, and a lesson/worksheets on inferring. And they've all wanted it all. These teachers that have been teaching for years and are pros want my work?! I'm only a student teacher and have only been actually teaching in a classroom for 5 weeks! This is crazy! But it's also really exciting. I feel like I am a teacher, and not just learning to be a teacher now.
That is a big compliment (plus I don't think they are minding you doing the work for them :) haha). Stopped over from Pass The Puck, now off to have an even better look around :)

That's awesome!!! Your hard work is proving that this is what you are cut out to do...and their response is just another affirmation.
ReplyDeleteWhatever school gets you and whatever teachers get to work with you in the future will definitely be blessed!
Sounds like your heart is really in teaching. I wish I knew more teachers who took the time to work on things for their classroom rather than just getting by.
What great accolades! It's probably wonderful for the veteran teachers to have someone creative who can look at the material with fresh eyes and turn it into something the students are excited about using! Nicely done.
