So I was talking to an aide that works at another school and it really made me feel better to know that I was making progress with my students. To me, it doesn't seem like I make a difference but some of the things I learned from the awesome Dana Culberson that works at Washington Early Childhood Center in Marshall, Texas stuck and I pulled them out this year to increase my students cognition and it has been noticed..... I'm loving it! Like all black people, I must thank God and my mother for always being there to keep me on the right path.... Lol..
On October 25 we went on another great field trip to the Jubilee Zoo, honestly, I do love, love, love, this place but it scares the HELL out of me. In previous years the camel has always attacked, this year, I guess the goat took the lead because it jumped on the flat bed and the operator had to stop the ride and bate it off with food.... Simply hilarious!..... Strictly after the fact though.
Who knew that this class would actually be hard? I think that the Master Teacher mid-term is the hardest test that I have taken since I had World Literature at Wiley. It was open book and I'm still not sure that I made a good grade. Who knew that it would be this hard to get a student teacher?... I want to build my resume' but I'm starting to question if all of this is worth it. With all the other things going on in my life, do I really have time to spend stressing over this? On the bright side, it's almost over because I rarely give up. I always fight out until the end because God will never place anything on me that I cannot handle, although it sometimes I feel my arms buckling from the heavy load.
Life has been moving so fast I have not been able to show my blog the much needed love that it needed. However, i will provide a brief update. My class is going well but everything else is CRAZY! We have a new evaluation plan and I am dazed and confused. There are a lot of changes and not many explanations. The PGP that I have done for so many years.... gone and my professional goals are unknown to even me. My evaluation is contengent upon my students improvment as well as teacher evaluations. I hope that I can get everything done in the time alotted. I just stopped by to vent and ask for prayers.
