Well, ladies and gentlemen.. it's time.
Tomorrow I will embark on the first day of the rest of my life. It is my first day of student teaching. Well, sorta. It's an inservice day for the school that I'm teaching at but I am still totally nervous.
The feeling I have right now is really similar to the feeling I had the night before we flew to Disney World when I was in second grade. I'm not sure what to expect. I mean, a day of meetings can only be so interesting, but it's my first official TEACHER meeting with other TEACHERS as a TEACHER.
I'm student teaching in a kindergarten classroom with 16 kiddos. My cooperating teacher is so nice and seems to have a great classroom management system in place. As nervous as I am to start teaching, I also feel so ready. I have worked so hard to get to this point in my life and am so thankful to the people who got me to where I am (shout out to mom, dad & Kaycee, all my teachers at CSM and the fabulous ladies at BFTS!!). I wouldn't be anywhere close to the teacher I am no without the guidance, patience and persistence that you have shown me.
I can't wait. I can do this. I am capable. I am a teacher!!
