My School

I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the school at which I am currently student teaching. The experience has been very positive so far, and I am having a lot of fun. This first picture is of my classroom.



This picture is of my desk. (It doesn't usually look this clean)



And this is a picture of my hallway. It is the 4th and 5th grade hallway, but also has the art and music rooms. My room is the first one on the left.



Right now I am doing a Native American unit with my 2nd graders. We have had a lot of fun learning dances and culture facts, etc. For my next lesson, I am planning on building a fake fire in the middle of the room, turning the lights off, and having some mood music playing when they come in. I will teach them a Naive American game that goes with a song, and I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they come in the room!

honestly, I have always looked forward to student teaching, but i never knew it would be this fun and rewarding. You really know you're making a difference in these kids lives when they give you hugs and open up to you about their lives.

More to come soon!
