Blog #13 Field Experience 3

This was the last full week of being in my 4th grade class. I have really enjoyed watching the students progress and grow in learning new things. We have finished teaching our five lessons and I want to teach more. At first I was apprehensive as to how teaching would go. I was nervous that we didn't have enough material or that the students wouldn't understand or like what we were doing. This wasn't the case, the students loved it! One of the students in particular would ask me frequently if we were going to be teaching about the pioneers that day, this made me happy.

This experience has reinforced my desire to become a teacher. I wish that I could just stop going to school to teach school. I love seeing the students learning new things and finding out that they can do something. I feel like I have just gotten to know the students and their abilities and then we have to go back to school. I wish that I could just stay and help those students learn all that they can.

Now that I definitely know that I want to be a teacher, I will try my hardest to accomplish that goal. I want to be a teacher that can make a positive impact in the lives of those that I'm around and those that I teach. Now I have a better idea of how teaching a lesson plan works and next time I shouldn't be as nervous to give a lesson.
