When you Look Good you Feel Good

When I know I have a full day ahead of me or something important to do, I always wake up a few minutes earlier so that I can look decent. I don’t wear make-up every day, but sometimes I do wake up in the mood to just wear make-up and look cute for myself.  This semester on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I only have one class at eight A.M. if I know I’m not doing anything after class but going get back in the bed I’m not going to try to get all dressed up and put on make-up. I do have a professor that I really admire because every class she comes dressed nice and with a positive attitude. I do believe that when they say “when you look good you feel good.” I want to be like that teacher in the future that my students remember not only was I a great teacher but I also looked nice.

I want to be a kindergarten teacher so I know somethings I will not wear because I have to interact with the students and it will probably get dirty. I do want to be comfortable and cute at the same time.

My First Observation Experience

Recently I had my first school observation visit. I really feel in love! At first when I was told I had to do Thirty hours of observations I was surprised. Which Thirty seemed like a lot to me at the time because I felt like I would just be sitting there and it would take away a lot of my time to do other things. I was totally wrong. I am observing a kindergarten class because that is the grade that I want to teach. The kids were so nice and welcoming to me. The teacher was also very nice and gave me a lot of information on what she was doing. It was a very great experience, because I also learned a lot of different techniques to do in my classroom in the future. I now see why they say it is very important to do school observations. What you learn in class is all great information but it’s good to see in action before getting to student teaching. I am very excited to do the rest of my observations and learn new things.

Closer to Graduation

My college years feel like they are flying by so quickly. I can’t believe that I am actually a junior already. Every day I am getting closer and closer to graduation and I am so excited! But there is a lot I have to do before graduation. I am now taking two of my CUIN courses which is getting me closer to student teaching, which I am ready to experience. I feel like everything is happening so fast. It seems like every day I find out about a new state test that I have to take to be certified. Last year I did not expect that I would be at the point I am at right now. Its really time for me to buckle down and get to business. I have a lot of studying and preparing for those state tests I have to take. I want to graduate certified! 

I'm going to use this Quizlet flashcard set to study for my TExES:

What's so interesting about Pinterest?

I am very new to Pinterest and I am trying to figure out what took me so long to create an account, because I really am pleased with what the site has to offer. I only made a Pinterest account for my class, but I am very happy that I was introduced to it. Unlike other social media sites I feel it is a very helpful site. Because I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Education Core EC-6. It has a lot of creative ideas that you can use in the classroom. You can find lesson plans and maybe need some ideas on how to decorate the classroom you can find on Pinterest,a lot of fun and exciting activities that the students will definitely enjoy.  It is also a very simple and easy to navigate this site. You can just type in what you are looking for and it will pop up.

I'll do it tomorrow

Procrastination is a big problem. I'm guessing I've always been a procrastinator but it was not until I got to college when I noticed this was really a big problem for me. Every semester I tell myself "okay I will not procrastinate this semester,"which always doesn't go as planned. I always put stuff off until the next day and the next day turns into the next week and so on, which is not a good idea because I've noticed that I am not even a good do at the last minute person. I've noticed that if procrastinate on something until the last minute and I found out that it is a hard and very time consuming assignment I usually end up not turning it in. This isn't a good idea because I end up getting a zero on something that I could have just done if I started on time. With me wanting to be a kindergarten teacher I know that I will get this procrastination problem under control I can not bring this into the classroom.
