A new kind of roadblock (Week 10 of Student teaching)

 When I say this week did not go as planned I really mean this week did. not go as planned...

However the week started off like a normal week. On Monday, I gave the students time to work on their posters. During second period, we worked on getting the plant sale signs ready. 



In fourth period, I started something new! I started working on Common shop tools with them. I was kind of hesitant on how this was going to go because tools can be quite boring but it actually went quite well. 

Tuesday is when things started to not go as planned. I originally planned on going to districts with Mr. Sturgis and our students but we were informed that only one advisor was approved to attend. So I used the time to take the last Praxis I needed to graduate. After taking the test, I got my second dose of the COVID vaccine. 

I was hoping not to have a reaction to the shot but unfortunately that wasn't possible. In fact, I actually had a quite severe reaction. I had a fever Wednesday and Thursday along with dizziness and nausea. Which meant I could not go to school. 

By Friday my fever had broken but I still wasn't 100% so it was kind of a rough day. We had lots of preparation to do for the plant sale so we spent most of the day outside. By the end of the day I was pretty wiped out but it felt really good to be back at school!

Rotary is such a huge part of my life so I thought it would be a good idea to tell you a little about it! What is Rotary? Rotary is a global service organization that is focused on bringing people together to make a difference.  What makes Rotary different from other service clubs is that Rotarians not only work on improving their own community but they also do work on a global scale. What are some causes that Rotary really focuses on? Promoting Peace: ( Rotary Promotes Peace video ) Fighting disease: ( Rotary Fight Disease video )  in 1985, Rotary started a campaign to End Polio.

The End of a Journey (Week 12 of Student teaching)

  I can't believe that student teaching is already over. It feels like my first day was just last week. My student teaching experience was quite the roller coaster ride. From behavior problems, to having almost my whole class quarantined, to having a false positive COVID test it was quite a wild ride.  I think the biggest thing I've learned from this experience is to trust myself. Trust in my abilities and my knowledge but don't be afraid to admit when you are wrong. Oh and always always always keep learning because you will never know everything.  It didn't really hit me until about 2:00 on Friday that this experience was coming to an end. All of us have been preparing for student teaching since Freshman year and now its magically over. In a little over a week I will be graduating with two degrees and I just can't believe I did it. I accomplished both degrees oh and student taught in a pandemic...  Student teaching in a pandemic is a wild experience that comes with...
