Closure

The last day in my classroom was very sad. I got gifts and read letters from my kids and they all had a lot to say! I already miss them and want to go see them soon. I teared up when I read their letters. I plan to go see them!

Three more monday's...

The past year in the class has been fun and hard. There was a lot of work but I guess that is essential for becoming a teacher!

At the beginning of the year I felt excited and kind of nervous to start interning but as the year went on it became more easier and sometimes harder! But i did enjoy going to my class three times a week! I love those kids and I hate saying bye to them!

I think now I am more excited to become a teacher because I know a lot more about what it takes to become a teacher. I am excited to finish college and work somewhere I went to school at. I would love to teach at Richland. I think teaching is for sure something for me because I was good with the kids and I am very personable.

I will close this year of interning on a good note, saying bye and giving my kids and teacher thank you gifts. I will be upset and will want to see my kids in the future!

Connecting to the Real World

Throughout my years in school I think the subjects could have
been more relevant by teaching me things that i would actually learn
when I get out of school.

A subject that would have been useful would be a class that teaches me about
money management.



I do not feel comfortable about the way I handle money I spend it right away
and I spend it on things I do not need.

I wish there was a class that helped you manage money, I would have appreciated
that class because leaving high school and getting on my own, that would have
helped me later on.

What teachers want parents to know.

Teachers want parents to know, that if they give you advice about your child
take it and actually use it, they see their kids "in another light" and sometimes the
teacher does know more than the parent.

Trust them. Teachers want their students parents to trust them, trust their judgement
and anything they say about their child, if they say that their child has a behavior problem
the parent should respect the teacher and do something to fix it.

"Parents are partners rather than prosecutors." That in my eyes means the the parent is more like
a friend to they child than a parent. That can be an issue because the child might need a parent
figure or might need some dicipline.

Rules!

1) Be respectful to everyone
2) No talking back to the teacher
3) No late work
4) Dont smack your gum
5) Leave issues at the door

Creativity Counts

Creativity is expressing yourself in a way that nobody else can.

Creativity matters in schools because if you don't have creativity, every kid may not learn as well as another. You need to be able to show every student that having creativity is a factor in expressing yourself and learning better. Every kid learns in their own way, just like every kid shows creativity in their own way.

If your creative you will want to learn more because learning can become a more fun experience. Learning is not all about text books and writing papers, showing kids to be expressive can show them learning actually is fun!

You're Hired!

Applying for a job or scholarship always comes with an interview, preparing your self for an interview is important because its a fifty fifty chance that you will either be accepted or not. My weaknesses when I go to an interview are nervousness and rambling on and on, to overcome theses i have talked myself up and gave myself more self confidence. Having confidence is a huge factor in doing well at an interview.

Having good eye contact and speaking skills is also two things you need to do or have while entering an interview. Knowing these skills will prepare you for a good interview.
