tales of a student teacher.
I'm a senior at the University of Hartford studying elementary education, currently doing my student teaching in a fifth grade classroom in Hartford. I'm starting to think about having my own classroom, and want to get as much inspiration from as many sources as possible.

- Valentine’s Day! My students were so precious, and they brought me chocolate (:
- My lesson on comparing & contrasting texts went REALLY well. Yay!
- A PACK of Hartford principals came wandering in during the lesson…and I didn’t suck!
- The principal of my school actually complimented me & said he heard “good things” and that I was “intelligent”!
- He talked about hiring a lot of teachers/interns for next year and said “you’re not allowed to leave us”!
- I’M ONLY THREE WEEKS INTO MY PLACEMENT.
Literally am so happy with my life right now. Today was one of the days where I … actually felt like a teacher, not a student teacher or copy girl. I am so, so so so so happy.
:D
