Chi Omega

I am apart of a sorority at Texas State called Chi Omega. Speaking of, I'm currently sitting here in our chapter meetings that we hold once a week to constantly update our organization as a whole and any other additional information to get involved with Texas State and our sorority overall. This fraternity has taught me to really grow out of my shell and formed me into the woman I have become today. A lot of the times, especially in my senior year, I get tired of coming to these meetings and don't have the motivation to really go, that is until I actually show up and am reminded of how uplifting and encouraging my sisters can be and how quick my day can turn around.
It made me think and relate to how sometimes this may occur when I have my own classroom, how some days will be rough or I'll be tired, etc. until I am reminded of how positive and uplifting I can be for my students because they're doing just the same for me. Moral of the story of this Tuesday, how you go about your day can really affect someone else's day as well, make sure to try and always be positive and look at the good things you're given in life!

    It is incredible to think of the impact we have on other people, especially as teachers. With a minimum of 20 lives to effect each day we have to watch ourselves. I find that even when the day is hard, if I find the positive the day is so much better!

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.

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.

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.
