Classroom Student Report

This term has been quite interesting, I got to come into a new classroom, with new kids, all younger than me. I was an intern in Mrs. Holzbauerś 8th grade class at Nature Hill Intermediate. As an 8th grader myself, I enjoyed having Mrs. Holzbauer as my teacher. I always aimed to be like Mrs. Holzbauer, in the sense that she is very positive and always so encouraging, without being strict or boring. I entered this classroom without many of the qualities I possess now. A lot of these qualities are desirable not only in the classroom, but in the workplace as well. Many experiences in Mrs. Holzbauerś class have definitely taught me to be more patient. Being patient is different than being tolerant. When you hear the saying, ¨patience is a virtue¨ …show more content…
Staying organized in the classroom makes it easier to get things done in a timely matter and it also allows you to properly teach. As well as in the classroom, in the workplace you need to be organized so that you can get your tasks accomplished in a timely manner. It is important for you as an employee to be able to complete your work on your own in the time that is given to you by your employer.

Working with many children that require a different learning style or did not have the capabilities that most average students hold, I have grown to have better ways to being patient. When you work with multiple students, it is hard for all of them, at once, to be able to grasp every lesson that is thrown their way. Giving the few students who needed it, more time to understand and learn, gave me more patience. This goes along with tolerance, which is also hard to have. Having been placed with a group of students to teach alone, gave them the opportunity to sometimes not behave the best. Some days they wouldn 't listen to me. I have grown to be more tolerant and calm when having students listen to the lesson I am trying to teach. Being alone to teach a group of students is a huge responsibility. As a oldest sister of four, I have always held some type of responsibility. Although I have always been a big sister, never have I ever had such big responsibilities since this term. When Mrs. Holzbauer allowed me to teach a group of my own really made me realize how far I had come in being a responsible
