Today was officially my last normal day in my placement since tomorrow will be a celebration day before the students go on Christmas break. I’m not sure what types of festivities are including for them tomorrow, but I’m sure they will have a lot of fun. One of my students baked cookies for me, because it was my near to last day. I loved them! I also gave my students cookies today, and my teacher flowers. As for class today they turned in their projects from the two previous days. After doing that, I gave each of them a paper bag. The students were given a few minutes to design their bags with whatever they chose. Each class they went to today the teachers would put some type of small gift in their bags for Christmas. After Mrs. Smith and I passed out their gifts, she assigned them a worksheet. The math on it was simple, and it related to Christmas. They students had to divide decimals (money), and then connect all of their answers in order that were already given to them on a template.
My class met at the elementary school but came here to the high school. They had to practice for their Christmas program that will be held in the new auditorium tonight. I, unfortunately, cannot make it to the program because I have practice. They walked around and marveled at how big our school is and how cool it is. That was hilarious because we really have a small school but these elementary school kids think it is humungous. They were having a ball. They walked into the auditorium and sat down in there rows. The music teacher came in and turned on the music along with the lyrics and the auditorium erupted in kids singing. They sang every song that came on. Eventually my kindergarteners started acting like kindergarteners so we had to get started. The music teacher got all of the classes lined up and it was extremely unorganized, almost to the point of chaos. They all got on the stage and sang their first two songs. They were so out of sync and just didn’t know where they were or the lyrics. The music teacher had to stop the music and pretty much start it over and sing with them to get it all on the right page. They fixed the mess and started another song. Shortly after we had to go to our class. It was fun watching the kids go.
Today was my last day of going to my placement. I was upset before I got to my placement, but when I got there I had every reason to smile. Threes students brought me presents from home. Mrs. Pigg brought me a tumbler filled with my favorite chocolate. And the students had secretly made me a portfolio of pictures and letters they wrote to me. I almost cried when I saw all of the things they had done for me. They also had me a Santa hat to wear. I taught them English and Math this morning. The English focused on correcting sentences and the Math focused on multiple things such as greater than or less than, and subtraction and addition sentences. I really enjoyed getting to teach them on my last day. Today they were having a Polar Express party so everybody wore pajamas. I definitely participated in that. So at reading time today I read the Polar Express book to them. I feel like I did well on my lesson.
Today was my last at my placement. I began class by going class by going over the South Carolina vocabulary with the students. After that I covered the next section of the PowerPoint that introduces them to the Civil War. It was the last time I would teach them. I hated to turn the lesson over to Mr. Leininger. He finished going over the lesson with the students while I gave them their Christmas ornaments and cupcakes that I made them. The students loved their gifts from me which elated me. I also gave Mr. Leininger his gift and card. I made wrote his name on a coffee mug because I know it is something that he will use. He loved his gift and his card. We both hated to say goodbye, but will definitely keep in touch. I learned so much during my six weeks with him and the students. I could not have asked for a better placement. Mr. Leininger taught me so much about teaching, history, and life. I wish I could work with him all year. He did invite me to come back next semester any change I get and I will definitely be taking him up on that offer. My life has been changed forever due to my experience in teacher cadet. I have newfound respect for teaching and teachers. I still do not plan on going into teaching, but I do plan to continue working with kids and making a difference in their lives’ as they make a difference in mine.
This class period was cut short, today, so that every middle schooler could watch a movie to celebrate Christmas break. I got a limited amount of time with my kids, which broke my heart because today was my last day. I made each of them an ornament with their initials on it. I also baked cupcakes for them! They were all so grateful. This is one of my favorite characteristics of this class. I gave Mrs. Kahler a canvas with a quote from “Oh! The Places You Will Go!” I thought that this would be perfect for her. She has other quotes from this book hanging all around her room, so I knew that this gift would fit right in. I cannot express in words all that I have learned from this teacher. Her passion for each one of her students is unlike anything that I’ve ever seen. She serves as an example to all. I’m incredibly blessed and honored to have worked so closely with her throughout the past weeks. I’m going to miss this class so much!
Today was a kind of sad day. It is pretty much my last day in my placements. Tomorrow my students will be in a basketball game for most of the day. The middle school is holding a basketball intermural. I came into class with a lot of stuff today. I had some of Mrs. Mathis’s gift, 48 cupcakes, and 25 goody bags. Wow. That was hard to carry all of them in. When I got into the class my kids were doing some work Mrs. Mathis had assigned. Their class was only thirty minutes long today because they are watching a movie this afternoon. After they were done with their work, with ten minutes left in the class, I began to talk to them about my time there. I told them how much I enjoyed being there and how much they have changed me. I also gave each of them a goody bag and a cupcake. I then began to talk to them about high school. I thought it would be a good thing to tell them things that will help them in high school. It was kind of sad to tell them goodbye. When they left, a lot of the students gave me a hug. This was very sad to me. They didn’t want me to go. After they left, I gave the next class some cupcakes and began to finish the papers I started grading yesterday. It was then time for me to leave. It was very sad, but I will get to say a real goodbye tomorrow.
Today was very different for my placement. Since the students have a Christmas play tonight, today was their day to practice in the auditorium at the high school. Since they went to North Central, I did not even go to the elementary school. I was waiting in the auditorium for the students when they got there. They were so happy to see me! They said things like, “We are at your school today!” and, “Is this where you go to school Miss Madison?” They were so excited and that made me so happy. The teachers sat down all of the students by grade in the auditorium. They were very rambunctious. After they grew calm, the director (I don’t know who it was) played the music tracks from the play so the students could sing along while the stage was being set up. They were all very good at staying on time and singing the correct lyrics. I was impressed! Jo, Summer, Christian, and I all helped a little bit with setting up the scene on stage. We mainly helped with crowd control though. I was very happy to see the students and I am not looking forward to my last day being tomorrow.
Today was a different day in my placement. I did not go to the Elementary school today because they were coming to the high school. The whole school was coming to the high school to practice for a Christmas play they were having tonight, so I just met them at the high school. When they arrived they were really rowdy, and I think it was just the excitement of being at the high school. One student asked me if they were at a college. I guess to them our school is huge. After helping get them settled in and everything it was time to start rehearsing. Before they started rehearsing, Me, Jo, Madi, and Christian all helped with some props on the stage. After that we just observed the children rehearsing for their play. There were some kids who were really into it, but then there were others who you could tell hated to be up there. We all had to leave while they were in the middle of rehearsing because the bell was about to ring. I gave Mrs. Joyner bags of goodies and a personal note to give to each student. I gave them to her today because their party was that afternoon and with tomorrow being a half day I didn’t know how many would show up.
First off I would like to say this Teacher Cadet program has given me the experience of a lifetime. I feel as if I have grown attached to these kids, like I’m their second parent. But first off, I had to get through today, and for my last day all the classes got to play. My favorite kids in my seventh grade class, is Blake Johnson and Marquell Portee. So I spent my time today playing basketball with them, but Blake ran off to play with the girls like he usually does. I told those two today was my last day, and they said they would miss me. My first sixth grade class got to play basketball, and it was hard to say goodbye to Donte. He was by far my favorite kid in my class, after I said it he said for me to come back and visit them. I told him I would, and he said that it is not cool I’m leaving. But by far the hardest class as a whole, would be my last class of sixth graders. Because my favorite kids of all are in there such as Thomas, Storm, Erin, Sierra, Taylor, Julie Ann, etc. I think these kids have made a bigger impact on my life, than I have on theirs. Thank you Mrs. Sutusky for this awesome experience, and I will never forget it!
Today was the last full day of my placement. I am so sad to say good bye to them. Like always, I started off by taking attendance and they watched Channel One. They jumped right in to their infomercials. While they were watching these I prepared to give my gift to them. I made them snowman ornaments with their names written on the back of them. Once they finished with their infomercials, I gave them to them. They all seemed to be so appreciative of them and they all said they loved them. Mrs. Peake flipped out when she saw them and showed everyone who came in her room. I wish I would of made her one but I made her something else that I'm going to give her tomorrow. The students watched a movie on Netflix for the rest of class. I'm not ready at all for my last day. I'm going to miss them so much!

ReplyDeleteI was absent today. I wished I could have went to my placement since tomorrow is my last day with them.
