My last week in my PDS

This week was my last week in my PDS for the semester. I can't believe how much I have changed in the past 16 weeks. When coming into this classroom I didn't know what to expect. All summer I dreaded coming to fifth grade, because I thought I preferred the younger students. As I entered into this classroom I instantly fell in love with each and everyone of these students. I have learned so much about my teaching as well. I realized that you don't have to run the classroom how others do and it's ok to think outside the box, because that's how students learn. I've also learned the various levels of attention students need, and that changes everyday. Finally though this internship, I feel like I am prepared to walk into a classroom and teach... I finally feel like a teacher!
