Hello everyone!
Well, as I look outside and love watching the snow falling down from the clouds I can not but help to think about the day that I had today in Middle School. We have been working for three weeks on a play and the students finally acted them out for the school on Wednesday and Thursday. I was actually unable to see them because I had another class to go to but I heard they went beautifully with only a few flaws. Then for today it was actually the last day of their Theme Week which is the week before they have their vacation for a break. The students had a fun week that was filling in puppet making, African drumming, poetry club, and various other fun activities. For today it was the theme of Mardi Gras and it was so much fun!
Each of the houses actually participated in a parade around all of the different houses in the Middle School. Each of the houses would have a different section of the parade and it was so much fun! our students got really into it and did a wonderful job. The parade was so much fun since all the students were in it and walking around each of the houses. It really was a time for the entire school to interact with each other in a fun and social setting. It was great to see all of the students getting exciting and working together. It was also very fun to see all of the teachers dressed up as well and getting really into it. By the teachers getting into it and having a fun time with it the students would feel more comfortable getting into the parade. It definitely worked and the students had such a wonderful time!
What was also really fun was that the entire school then came out for an assembly and they saw a slide show of pictures of themselves from the theme week. What I really loved was seeing all of the student teachers from SMC. I knew two of them extremely well and it was nice to see them at the school since we were all acting teachers. It really felt like we were all teachers having our own classes and students. It was so great and made me feel so good. It was yet again another affirmation that I want to be a teacher and I am going to love being a teacher! This also makes me love middle school so much more and I love middle school! I am now so excited to start student teaching next semester and although it may be long days and a lot of work to do, I am going to love it! It was show me again that I want to be a teacher for the rest of my life!
Loving it!
