I cannot believe how fast student
teaching is going. I feel like I
just started, and now it is already winding down. I haven’t realized how close I have grown to all my students
and my host teacher until my teacher had mentioned when we were having my “last
day celebration”. I instantly had
tears streaming down my face.
My
host teacher has gone far and beyond this semester in making me feel at
home. She has worked hard each and
everyday to ensure that I am successful as a teacher. She and I have bonded into more than just colleagues. We have developed a trusting friendship
that will last forever. From day
one, Mrs. Young has open up her classroom and allowed me to be a big part of
room 7.
Over
the course of my student teaching, I have developed relationships with all of
my students. My students look up
to me and have been a positive support system throughout this entire
process. They trust me and look up
to me when they need advice. They
come to me when they are upset or when they have an exciting story to
share. I haven’t had one day when
a student hasn’t come up to me and say, “Miss Mule’, Miss Mule’, Miss Mule’……I
have to tell you something!” My
first graders want to share everything about their lives and some students come
to me because no one else will listen.
My students mean so much to me and I am really sad that I will be
leaving in ten days.
Even
though it is heartbreaking to leave room 7, I have to look on the bright side
and think about how much closer I am to having my own classroom. This experience had prepared me for the
next journal in my life. I am
anxious to have my own classroom and build these lasting relationships with my colleagues
and future students.
