A Shortened week and April Fools.... (Week 9 Student Teaching)

 Although this week was a shortened week but it actually felt quite long. 

On Tuesday, I had the opportunity to spend the day with an Ag teacher at Lennard High School. The program at Lennard was quite different at Durant so it was the perfect place for me to spend the day.



I observed Mrs. Kayla Marsh. She teaches primarily Veterinary Assisting (a certification class) which is the ag class I took in high school. Mrs. Marsh's first period class was a special education class which I enjoyed seeing. She was so good with the students and really kept them engaged in the material. 

At the end of the day I got to observe the beginning of their FFA meeting which was great because Durant isn't allowed to have FFA meeting due to covid restrictions. I couldn't stay for the whole meeting because I had to head back to the plant city area for the Hillsborough County Fair pig drawing. This event decides who is and isn't showing a pig that year at the county fair. They have to do this because the demand is high but space in the barn is limited. We had a good amount of kids get drawn to show this year so that was pretty exciting!

The craziest part about this week was Thursday because it was in fact April Fools... The kids decided kit would be sooooo funny to put big zip ties on the axels of my front wheels. I had to drive over an hour to my parents house after school for easter weekend and let me say that drive was not enjoyable. 

Once I got to my dads, shop my dad didn't believe me when I told him that the kids put zip ties on my car. Eventually my dad had me turn my tires all the way to the left and thats when he discovered the zip ties. Getting the zip ties off was extremely challenging because they were the bigger zip ties and they were attached pretty tight. 

At first I was mad but now I think it's pretty funny! 





On top of all the craziness it was still a good week!

What is Rotary?

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. As of today, Polio is so close to being eradicated because of the efforts of rotarians.  Providing clean water: ( Rotary Provides water, sanitation and hygiene video ) Saving mothers and children: ( Rotary Supports Mothers and Babies video ) Supporting Education: ( Rotary Supports Education Video   Easing Poverty: ( Rotary Supports Local Economies Vi...

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

Image
  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...
