October 24th, 2012

         This week has been crazy. I noticed that as my student teaching continues to progress I have been more and more stressed – which results in less blogs! I need to work on this. Yesterday we had parent conferences until 8:30 and tomorrow we do too! So I have been very tired at the end of the day. I have learned a lot about prepping and conducting conferences from Mrs. Irvin. I was very thrilled yesterday when the parents directed questions to me and held meaningful conversations with me. From the sound of it, these parents really consider me their child’s teacher! It is an awesome feeling and I really enjoyed contributing. I have been really stressed lately with everything coming up. This week we have a student teacher meeting where we have several things due. Next week is Halloween and we have a lot going on in our classroom that we our not very prepared for. Also, I dedicated this weekend to get ahead in my internship class and plan for November  (since I will be teaching the whole month). I would like to get as much as I can done sooner rather than being stressed every week I teach. I want to enjoy the experience as much as possible and avoid as much stress as I possibly can!
         My highlight of the day today was when one of our students befriended his bully. Instead of screaming and fighting with each other today one of our students decided to reverse the negative attitude and return a positive attitude when he was bullied. He ended up befriending the other student and they spent the whole day acting as though they had been best friends for weeks! I love seeing our students making positive behavior choices.
