My first placement ended yesterday. Come Monday, I will not be returning to Blackman Elementary in the 3rd Grade Hallway to (in my opinion) the best third grade class. It was a bittersweet day. On one hand, I am closer to graduating and I will be getting a whole new experience with 5th grade. I will also have less of a commute. On the other hand, I have been with this group since the end of August. I know their personalities, their schedules, and what works and doesn't work as far as classroom management goes. Now, I need to re-learn it all with a different group.
It was a great day though. I got cards and gifts from my teacher and the students, I got a card from another teacher in the school, the Principal gave all of us Student Teachers a gift (including books and classroom supplies), and we even had a little party at the end of the day. You really couldn't ask for a better way to spend your last day. The most humbling part were the kids saying they would miss me and giving me hugs. That to me will be one of the hardest part about teaching. I can't imagine staying with a group a whole year and then having another group come in the next. For the teachers that looped, it will be really tough (like my teacher I just had).
Now on to Edmondson Elementary with the 5th graders. My first day will be the 21st, so wish me luck!
