Today was my first "real" day of work/school. Yes, I had staff meetings for the last three days, but today was the first day of school for all of the students. It was really crazy! I thought I would be really out of place, but I just got swept along with everything and before I knew it, it was 4:00 and it was time to go home.
My day starts off with me figuring out the day with my co-teacher at 8:00 AM. (I leave my house around 7:20 and get there around 7:50). I then progress to go outside for morning recess duty from 8:35-9:00. School then starts at 9:00, and I'm either in my classroom with students, or if they are staying with their homerooms for something, I'll be floating with them to help and modify if necessary. At 11:00 is my lunch break, and then from 11:30-12:15 I have lunch/recess duty with the 4th and 5th graders (9 of whom are my LD students). (Non-education people: LD = Learning Disabled). Then from 12:20-1:10 I lead read-aloud, silent reading, and I teach Spelling. (w00t, I get to teach!). From 1:10-3:40 I do classroom things and assist the kids, and then at 3:40 I take a bus line (go bus 103!) out front and make sure my line gets on their bus. By then, it's 4:00 and I go home!
It's a full day, but it goes by quickly and I really enjoyed it today. My 9 LD kids are really sweet, and they already like me. :) "Miss Thome, will you help me? Miss Thome, can you go to music with us?" I am so glad I made this my profession.
Oh, at the end of the day, my teacher said that she is very impressed with me and that next year, I would most definitely be snapped up for a classroom teaching position. Go me. B-)
I can't wait to see my first paycheck!!! Woooo!!!
I'm coming to ISU this weekend, btw, for anyone who will be there. It's Cornfest! My sis & I & my mom are going and so is Derek. I can't wait! If you can't make it, you'd better be there on September 9th for the tailgate & first football game!!! I'm coming!!!
