Teacher Assisting

Yesterday, I began teacher assisting at East Rockford Middle School. It is such a great experience and I just want to be in my own classroom! My students are 7th and 8th graders and are such great kids. The class is an elective for them and they all WANT to be there! I cannot wait to get to know all of the students and teachers at ERMS!  Go Rams!

I am pretty stressed out right now, I think mainly it was because I am not yet organized with everything. I want to be organized and have a plan I have so much going on. TAing, working, and taking 3 courses is a lot of work! In the courses, everything seems to be blending together with the content so it is hard to keep up. I will for sure do my best and I know I will accomplish everything to the best of my ability. Seeing the kids everyday will definitely help me =)

Next week starts teacher assisting and it will be a very very busy time! I am teacher assisting 20 hours a week, working 17 hours a week and taking 3 classes.

It's over

Last night was awesome. There was a great turn out despite of the weather. I wish that more kids would've come, but it is understandable that they didn't because of the traveling conditions. I really hope that everyone truly enjoyed themselves. Thank you to all of the family, friends, and faculty who supported us. I know I repeat myself a lot, but I really wish that Mrs. Kotchman was there. I never really thought that anyone or her made that much of an impact on me, but I guess that she did. It's crazy what you don't realize until something or someone is gone. I just have to remember that she was there in spirit for me.
