Success Journal


  1. Getting the wonderful opportunity to look at baby calves for the student's next year show projects!
  2. My livestock kids have been struggling with the exam all semester, but today it's as they finally figured it out!
  3. My cooperating teacher gave me the reins for every class!
  4. Today I was able to help a student realize that coming to class is important, and that speech class is fun!
  5. Today I was told by my supervising teacher that I reached a student that very few ever have!

All in all, I had some great successes this week in the classroom. I was able to get a student to take ownership of not only his education, but also the entire classroom's education. I was able to get him to work the computer when we made a class PowerPoint presentation, and let the rest of the students "coach" him through it. After seeing this, my cooperating teacher said I was ready to take over all the classes of the day! Finally towards the end of the week I was able to travel with my cooperating teacher to look at baby calves in hopes to buy a few for our student's next year show projects.
One area I would like to become more successful in is having the same passion for teaching each class throughout the day, I extremely enjoy my classes before lunch. The kids are great, and participate, which makes it fun for me. My classes after lunch however are a much different story. The students are almost the opposite of the morning classes and are some of the most disrespectful kids I have ever met. Nonetheless, I just keep calm and educate on. I'm loving this thing we call teaching!
