Things I Learned In High School

Improved Essays
Things I have done well this week that helped students learn:
Taken a step back. After the stress of last week, Ms. Rozanski and I thought it was important for me to settle down and get back into a regular routine. You have to realize when a certain situation is not helpful to anyone least of all students. Had I started teaching in Ms. Rozanski’s room sooner than I am, I would not be very effective. I took the time I needed to readjust to the new room, students and teacher as well as move forward from the stress of last week. I will be more effective for the students I have now as I start teaching this week.
Observed.
I took in everything I watched Ms. Rozanski do this week. I am looking forward to starting in her room but because of the observation time I had this week I will be able to use many of her methods to help students

After the stress of last week to finally have the situation settled was an incredible weight off my shoulders. I know I tried my best last week to make it through but it became so overwhelming I became immensely stressed. I am so relieved to have everything sorted out and to be in a stable situation again. I also have felt gratitude towards so many people this week. Ms. Rozanski has been so amazingly helpful. I am grateful not only for her taking me on as her student teacher but also for all the support she offered last week throughout Mr. McKinney’s absence. I am grateful to you as well. You were very understanding of the stress with which I was dealing. I also thank you for your and Dr. Young’s assistance in changing my situation. Mr. McKinney was also supportive of me as I made this change. He understood I was in an impossible situation and was unable to continue with him. Overall, everyone surrounding me throughout my student teaching experience was so helpful and I feel so blessed to have the people I do helping me through this

    Little and her teaching techniques. As a middle schooler I did not think I was learning anything in her class; however, I can now see that I retained a lot of information from Mrs. Little because she constantly had something else we could work on. I also enjoyed helping the sixth-graders answer science questions. I loved watching the students light up the first time they understood something, like the difference between a food web and a food chain. This past week has been extremely busy because they are preparing for ISTEP.…

    For my Teacher Appreciation Day assignment, I chose you to write this letter to. I think that you deserve an act of kindness because you should be given kindness back. You are generous with collecting homework assignments, and you genuinely care for your students’ learning experiences. You prepare us for tests as best as you can and provide extra credit options to get our grades higher. We get to take extra test time on your own time; you sacrifice your own free time, just so we can finish a question or two.…

    Since I wasn't able to visit my eighth graders on our usual schedule (my teaching class had an in-class day to reconnect with each other and learn information for our teaching exam- sad face.) , I felt very happy to go visit my kids today! As I entered Ms. Fentress' room when her AI students were exiting, I realized that these kids are just like high school kids. One boy was jamming out to his music, and even rapped for his classmates. It's always funny to see how their distinct personalities intertwine with one-another to make it a friendly atmosphere.…

    Ms. Rachiele, I hear that you will not be coming back next year, and because I never got to thank you in person I would like to do so now. You taught me many things that I was able to use in my classes after 9th grade. I recently took an FBLA test which required me to write MLA bibliography and I thought of you. However, many of the things I learned from you were not graded.…

    My greatest skill is that I don't let people's negative opinions on me bring me down anymore. In the 8th grade, the only thing that mattered to me was what people thought about me. I would try so much to try and conform to the many middle school trends, and I became a really self absorbed person. When entering high school, I stopped being like that and I started to care about actually important things like my grades and education. It is extremely easy to go back to your old ways and I did when I met my first boyfriend.…

    The majority interesting thing I learned in class is that the mind can be your best friend or your enemy. The thing is it is not truly the minds fault. Another thing I found interesting is how misguided society is. However, knowing that society has a negative view towards numerous things we talked about in class, for example, depression, certain types of drugs, abnormal behaviors, etc was not surprising. It is startling how I questioned countless things and during class, many of my questions were answered or reflected upon.…
