My Journey Of Being A Teacher

Being a teacher is an actual profession that some are call to do. Only the best stand out because it shows their ambition and durable work. One thing stands out more than others the affection for the children and desire to teach. Today I will show how I will build a partnership with my parents in the third grade.

I also plan to email an all about page to the parent, so I know the basics about the child and family before the initial meeting. Also believe it is good training to start to learn their names.

Whoever is the parent they need to be included. So be open to these changes and adapt where you need to. I want to work in a Title 1 school teaching the 3rd grade.

I called and tell about the problem that is going on in the classroom and if I can help with anything. The mother divulges they have no food, because her husband has left her. I tell her that I will see what I can do and will try to have an answer for her after school. I will inquire with my principal for programs that will help feed families. And look on the internet for resources.
