My Day Off
All I could think about today, as I sat home sick, was what am I missing in class? It seems that almost everything that comes out of our professors mouths is like gold to me. I find myself constantly being blown away and saying "wow I never thought of that before." And it was really hard staying home knowing I would be missing this. Yes there is a lot of of information coming in that is upsetting, like that documentary we watched in art class, and a lot of the knowledge we are enlightened with in Zaher's class. But with every new topic, every new conversation, every reading...I find I am growing as a person and as a teacher. I already (in just 2 1/2 weeks) will be a completely different teacher then I would have been before I started this program. And it is a much better teacher, more enlightened and in tune with the educational world. Imagine what kind of teacher we will all be after the next year of these stimulating, intriguing classes and topics. I am excited, nervous, and still a little sick. But mostly excited. Bring it on!

ReplyDeleteAnother day gone by so fast....
ReplyDeleteThese past two weeks have opened doors I would have never imagined we'd cover in the first few days of the term. Everything we discuss, read, act out.... is so real and feels so right to be on our path of learning. There are many things I'm grasping for the first time, many I've heard but never really digested. I'm constantly reflecting our readings, comments, suggestions, and know that we are going to always be learning as teachers. The world is continually changing and we need to be on top of that change. Before we know it we'll be in our classrooms experiencing all of these real life instances. Wait...I can't jump the gun, there's so much to do between now and then! One step at a time, children's museum first, zoo next, case study....
