Slice of Life

Today was an ordinary day as it could be for a Texas State student. Although I'm not in classes for the day, I did what any bobcat would do in their free time. I went out for groceries, to get more supplies for school and did a lot of my school work to try to get ahead. I have to admit, I also did a lot of watching Catfish on MTV during my time of doing homework. But this bobcat also has plans for dinner and to see other people, as well as get ready for the upcoming day of school tomorrow! I named my blog "Learning is a Journey" because I noticed it from somewhere on Pinterest and it sparked a reminder inside of me that with school tomorrow, throughout this semester and so forth in my teaching career, learning will always bring a journey and constant memories. With that being said, I can't wait for what my last year here at Texas State has to come.

    Congratulations on your first blog! I love Catfish too! Learning is a journey... complete with twists, turns, joys and frustration. The amazing thing to me is that with learning, you never end up stuck in the same place years later. Progress!

Read Aloud

Today I did my first read aloud to my first grade class, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I did well overall, but there were definitely some areas that I could work on. I read Alan's Big Scary Teeth to my class and consistently asked questions on what they think might happen next, who the main character is and what they're feeling or how the other characters feel, etc. Although I do have a noisy and easily distracted group, my kids were very willing and engaged in our conversations. My cooperating teacher thought I did really well but also gave me a good amount of information that I will keep in mind for next time, for example, not to be afraid to stop the discussion or reading when the kids get distracted or using more time for discussion, etc. Overall, I'm glad I got to experience my first read aloud with my class and get some good feedback from my cooperating teacher.

Thanksgiving Break

This past Thanksgiving was one to remember. The day started at my boyfriend's house and eating with his family, which is always a joy! We then trailed off onto my family's house for dinner, spending hours as the night flew by. That day, that week, I realized that I really do have so much to be thankful for. My friends, family, boyfriend, the opportunity to go to school, each day to live out, failure, struggles, achievements and more. Thanksgiving break opened my eyes to realize all that I should stop taking for granted, and for all that is surrounding me in my life, I am so grateful.
