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 =)
