I can't believe I have completed my first semester of teaching. I couldn't imagine a more rewarding career. These kids mean the world to me, they keep me on my feet and keep the smile on my face. The time I laugh the most is watching them at play. They memic things that I do. For instance, they play teacher. One of the girls will sit in my rocking chair and teach her students calendar. She does the same things that I do. She sits like I do and then she quotes what I say to them. I then realize that they are watching everything I do, they even watch how I move my hands or how I pull my hair back. It really makes you see what an important role you play in their lives. I also have one of the smartest classes. I am very proud of them, it is only half way through the semester and 85% of them are reading on a level where they should be by the end of the year. My class also won the math bowl for first grade. As you can tell, they make me very proud. I do my best to tell them each and every day how important and special they are to me. I always want them to know that they are cared for and valued. The students that know that you believe in them are the students that reach for the stars because they have the confidence they need to succeed. I am looking forward to next semester but first I am going to enjoy my two weeks off for the holidays by just relaxing and having fun.
