What to do?

When I get stressed and overwhelmed I always take time to myself. I know I that point I would not be a pleasant person to be around, half the time I do not even want to be around me. Whether it be to sit down and watch my favorite TV show by myself or even just sleep. Sleep cures ecverything. Usually when I am this stressed or overwhelmed by all I have to do, I have a lack of sleep. So actually taking some time to stop everything and take a little nap, to go to bed a little earlier, or wake up a little later always seems to help. As well, I write everything down in my planner, it helps keep my organized and know what I have to do and when I have to do it. When I have down whatever it is I have written in my planner I highlight it. Yes, that is just something little but it is like a sense of accomplishment know I was able to highlight a certain task I completed. I also like to go home on the weekends to relieve some stress, whether it be to just hang out with my faimly, my friends, or my fiance. It helps so much to be away from the place I call home just because of school and to be back in the town I really want to be in. Hanging out with my fiance and friends just for fun, or going out with them helps so much. I can forget about everything I am stressed about and just have fun.

Student Writings

All of the students writings were very different. Many of them had lots of spelling and grammatical errors. I noticed that some of them started with a question or quote. Being in a 4th grade classroom right now I have seen many of my students do this as well. It is something the teachers advise them to do.

What kind of teacher do we want to become...

The kind of teacher I want to be is an inspirational and motivational type teacher. I want my students to want to learn and want to come to class each and every day. I want to be a well-educated teacher who enjoys her job and also wants to be there everyday. As well, I want to be more of a constructivist type teacher. I feel if my students are actively engaged, with lots of discussions and hands on type learning. They will do better in the classroom in the long run.
