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 :)

    It has been a struggle to maintain any kind of wellness plan this semester. You are not alone in this feeling. Just know, the students appreciate the effort that you put into each and every day that they see you.

    I have been there and it is not easy but you do need to take even 5 minutes for you. When a goup of my friends worked in the cafeteria at college, we would exercise there after work together, put on music and make the best of it twice a week. Then at least for 2 nights we would leave work with a better attitude about coming home to more work to do.( Jane Fonda would get us through) Take Care! It does get easier!

    You're doing a great job. We're halfway there! Hopefully you can draw inspiration from your first placement to help plan your second set of lessons!

Surprises

 I was surprised with how much I enjoyed teaching elementary music! Going into student teaching, I was focused on middle school, but I think I may have changed my mind. I still have my middle school placement to experience middle school band, but elementary will be tough to beat.

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.
