It's my last week in my classroom in La Porte, and the next two days will be my last as an undergrad, which is totally weird. This semester has definitely been completely different than any other semester, but I've learned a TON about myself as a person and as a teacher.
I actually feel ready to take on my own classroom, and more than that, I feel excited about it. My supervising teacher and school have been UNBELIEVABLE, but I am excited to be able to make decisions without knowing that it's actually someone else's class in the back of my head.
My 4th graders have been pretty squirrely for the last couple of weeks, but none the less, I know I am going to miss them like crazy. Kids have a way of wiggling their way into your life, and it's hard when you have to say goodbye to them!
The kids in my class are some of the smartest (sometimes too smart for their own good) funniest kids around. I plan on volunteering in my room even when I'm done student teaching, and I already have 3 days set up that I am actually going to sub for my class in May, but still... it's weird that it's time for this part to be over!
Yay! "Wiggling their way into your life" is a perfect way to put it. My high schoolers do that, too, believe it or not.
