Parent Communication

 I do not communicate with parents myself, all communication comes through my CT. I did create a poster to send to families via the school's communication app. I just gave details about what a student teacher does, a few fun facts about myself, and a picture of myself.

    All of the communication also goes through my CT. It has been nice, though, because she always involves me in that communication and asks me for my advice on what she is sending to them. I am curious, what app does your school use to communicate with the parents?

    I have only sent home one communication without my CT, it was a positive note about each student’s performance. I think sharing information about yourself was a great way to establish that connection.

    Being involved with making portions of the parent communication is nice also! Letting the parents know what you are there doing is a great way to communicate to them anyway!

    I saw your meet the student teacher poster you made and that was a great idea for the students! Elementary students won't exactly understand what a student teacher does, so that's a great way to explain it to them, while also introducing yourself to them.

Wellness

 I do not have much of a "wellness plan". I work all day at school, come back to campus and work in the cafeteria, then I work on lesson plans until I am too tired to write something coherent. I work every day except for Sunday, when I clean up around my apartment and work on more lesson plans. If only student teaching didn't cost $30,000 :)

First Blog Post!

My Love For Teaching What inspired you to be a teacher? I was inspired to be a teacher by my high school music director. The environment that she create in her classroom was inviting, and watching her teach made me realize that I wanted to teach as well.  My Story What legacy do you hope to leave as an educator?  I hope to be an inspiration to my own students, just like my music director was for me. Throughout my time as an educator, I want to show my students how to appreciate music and how to pass that appreciation on to others. My Mindset What actions and mindset will be needed during the unique setting of the 2025 school year? I believe that I will need to be patient, open-minded, and dedicated in order to succeed this year. There will be situations that I am unprepared for, and I will constantly be trying new things. I need to be patient with myself, open-minded with my surroundings, and dedicated to my learning.
