Really? December?

Well I still can't believe its December already and after my first full week last week in the 4th grade classroom, I have to say I'm pretty wiped out. All the grading and changes is just a lot to take in. As a teacher, you want to do things the way you see them, when you go into another teacher's classroom however, you can't help but do them they way they were being done before. Its just easier and more beneficial to the kiddos to do it that way. The teacher I took over for is amazing. I mean she is probably one of the best teachers I've seen in a while because she really took her time with helping the kids in their reading and writing. I definitely have big shoes to fill, but I know that I can do it! I'm going to be taking a lot of tips from what I saw her do, and incorporate some of my own into the mix.

I think that is what I like most about teaching...the constant want to keep learning. I never want to stop learning and I feel that every day is a new learning experience both in my professional and personal endeavors. I hope you all are having an amazing day, God bless and have a great week!!!!
