Journal 3

This past week has been...interesting!!!!
I've been grading papers for Mr. Bauer- which takes me 5-15 minutes, its really sad to see that some students struggle...I see some students struggling sometimes, but when it comes to the grade that you have to give them, it really makes me wonder why they won't ask for help (even though I rarely ask for help...) and, I guess... I just have to realize not everyone is a perfect student.
When I finish grading, I love walking around the classroom... Every day this past week has brought me new insight.
Like Tuesday, I had "peace" wrote on my hand, and I went to assist a group of girls, and one of them said due to me having that wrote on my hand, I wasn't very "teacher-y". The girls got a kick out of it, and I did too... But I definitely realized she's correct-in a sense.
Wednesday and Thursday I was back to the same group of girls, and one of them (not the same one as before) had wanted me to help her read a story because she simply didn't understand it. The day before, she admitted, that they were goofing off all hour.
Being a cadet teacher in a sense makes me wonder about teacher-teachers. I love it, but it's taking some serious thought! And, who knew I'd need to think???
But, I'm ready for next week, and all it brings!
