Yesterday was my last day working with my seventh grade students. As I completed their final lesson, I was met with mixed emotions. I was relieved to have survived my first self-constructed unit plan, but I was left with the feeling that I could have done better by them. I put everything I had into this unit, but I was learning so much each day about teaching and relating to students that I know I got monumentally better by the end, and I only wish I could have started how I ended. Fortunately, that is what next semester is for.
I found out about my new placement, and I couldn't be more excited. I am in a rural school at a freshman campus teaching English. I have already found out that I will be responsible for teaching the Odyssey and parts of speech. I met my new CT and one of her classes of students. Everything about this new placement seems wonderful. The students were welcoming, the principal and the two assistant principals all introduced themselves to me on the first day I stopped by. And, best of all, my new CT loves her job. I can already tell that her positive energy is going to be infectious. She is very well liked by her students and has a good report with her fellow staff members. Though I know I will miss my current placement, I also know what I have ahead and I cannot help but be excited.
