Went Biking on Saturday at 9:00 am as we prepared for the Hike/Bike Ride for Breast Cancer. Since, October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, we have been trying to raise money all month for a Cure. So, on Friday night, we had a tie die party and on Saturday we wore them on our Bike Ride for Breast Cancer. Throughout the month, they have been selling pink passes (which allows students to wear pink and jeans to school). Our school has a uniform that allows students only to wear three colors.
I don't know how elaborate I will go on my thoughts from my first 8-weeks in Math, but I will try. Well, one thing I will say, the students are awesome. I have really enjoyed getting to know all of my students. I know a lot of people are worried about where our society is heading, but the youth that I have had the opportunity to work with are very bright. I know that most of my time has been spent in Pre-AP classes, but even in the regular ed classes have I have seen a lot of bright students in those classes. I feel very privilege to be working in this school right now, and I thank the lord for the opportunity that I have been given. It has been a very good experience so far.
Now, I learned a lot from both my cooperating teacher and the math specialist. They were great and very welcoming. I hope that someday, if I ever have a student teacher, that I can be as helpful to my student teacher. I received a ton of materials, and she gave me a bunch of math videos. It was an awesome experience, and I think I could handle my own classroom right now. Well, maybe I could still work on classroom management.
I was allowed to teach on Thursday and Friday in Texas History. Pretty exciting to get my first opportunity to teach in this classroom. I taught about the Americans emigrating to Texas. We tried to talk about the reasons why this would have happened. Soon, we will talk about the Texas Revolution, which includes the Battle of the Alamo!
