Well regardless of my thoughts that I could manage a blog while student teaching, running an organization, playing basketball, and working it definitely didn't turn out that way! I have been a busy bee over the past 5 weeks with teaching and making lessons. I haven't even had a moment to sit down and breathe!
I can't believe it's already been 5 weeks of student teaching in Ohio. I am very excited for my last week but I hope it moves really slow (I know who says that about a week haha!). My experience has been awesome and I wish it didn't have to end, but I'm excited for this new chapter in Florida!
So a little update about my time in Ashland Schools. My days in the school were the fastest thing ever. I was constantly on the move between inclusion rooms. This is one of my favorite things about being an intervention specialist. I am a person that always needs to be doing something so this occupation really fits my personality! I also love having kids that are from all different grades. This made me super nervous at first but it's a nice change of pace. If I ever misssed being in a general ed classroom I always had inclusion to fall back on. My inclusion teachers were absolutely amazing letting me jump and lead the class. My mentor teacher also was amazing about letting me do my own thing. It was really nice being trusted with lessons as a professional. She also put up with all of my moments that I spent panicking on lessons.
I am really really going to miss my kiddos though! I had 7 main kids I worked with throughout the day. What a difference than the usual 25 at once! They each have their own unique personalities and having such a small group I really got to know them. We had so much fun together. I even taught a lesson using real hamburgers (from a cow that used to live on my mentor teacher's farm -- ahh!). I am excited for what this week has to bring but I don't want to say goodbye :(
Back to the lessons and packing for me!
