Student Teacher in Training

So, Thursday was my first day in my life as a Student Teacher. It began with a day full of meetings. In the morning I met with all the teachers of the University Place School District at the Jr. High. We listened to important people from the district talk about new hires, accomplishments from last year, fun things staff did this summer, and heard a message from the superintendent. Once that was finished, we made our way back to Drum Intermediate for a school wide staff meeting where details about the coming year were covered and discussed. Not much of the information covered pertained to me, but it was still good for me to be there so that I could get exposed to how things work at the beginning of a school year.

When introducing me to the staff at the beginning of the school wide meeting, my teacher told the staff that I went to PLU therefore I knew how to make good decisions. I like the teacher I am working with a lot. She is really chill and is a very good teacher from what I hear from her colleagues. She got me my own desk and decorated it for me with Lute colors. It is going to be so great to have my own space to work and my own drawers to keep stuff in. She also is a texter which is so great. She texts her kids and sisters all the time and understands texting. At one point in the day during a transition time, she handed me the keys to the classroom and told me to go check my phone while she talked to someone and then we would work on something else.

I think it's going to be a good semester and a positive student teaching experience.

This is me on my first day :)
