Today was my last day student teaching at the high school. It is definitely a bittersweet feeling, because I'm happy I'm done with part of my required student teaching, but I'm sad to leave my students and mentor teacher. I have grown to really like the high school aged students and I wish I could have spent more time with them. I've learned a lot about how to handle different behaviors and personalities, and how to differentiate material for students that are on completely different academic levels. It has been quite a challenge, and I feel that I surpassed my own expectations I set for myself on the first day I walked into the classroom. Today was a sort of "fun day" in all of my classes. After briefly reviewing a topic or after finishing a quiz, I played Monopoly with my smaller classes. It was nice to relax and just have fun with them. To my surprise, they were all very into the game and very good at it as well. I left on a good note, and plan to return again when I have a day off of kindergarten, and definitely for some of my contract hours. It was my pleasure to get to know Mrs. Broker and her students, along with the other faculty and staff at University. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
