William H Ray Elementary |
So far, I’ve stayed on a top of my
lesson plans. It’s been great to coordinate really well with my cooperating teacher and to get
feedback on my lesson plans in case I need to change anything before I teach
them. I’ve been able to understand how important my position is as a student
teacher at Ray Elementary and I’ve really taken a liking to feeling like a real
teacher when I go home. I feel like a real teacher because I grade papers, plan
lessons, and talk about how I can differentiate for my students.
I recently experienced a special moment while I was teaching math. It was after instructional time was over and the students were about to split into working with
partners. I walked to the back of the room and I heard one student say to another
student, “Man, Miss Schrupp is really getting a hang of this teacher-thing!” It made me
smile because the students see that I’m trying and they can tell that I am
doing a good job. This means so much coming from them because I feel that as
kids, they are very observant. Especially if they have been taught from my cooperating teacher the whole year. It really boosted my spirits about how I was doing and
how they were perceiving me as a teacher. It’s really great to have all my
students’ support as I go through this semester of teaching! SUCH a great
moment!
