From Green Blazers To Blue Corduroys

Running my First FFA Trip: Mr. Dietrich is in Charge at SLLC During Week Twelve Student Teaching Day 60: Weekly Reflection Objectives of the blog: Reflect on this weeks experience This week was a little intense. Here was the run down: Sunday - Tuesday: SLLC Wednesday: Snow Day Thursday: 2hr delay (taught for a total of 3 hrs.) Friday: Student Teaching In-service So what was my big take away this week?  I would say it was SLLC.  Why? I was given control as to what we were doing while at SLLC.  Originally we had planned that I would be the primary chaperone on the CV Spring Break Trip.  That trip was unfortunately cancelled.  As a result it became my job of planning the minor details of the trip. So what did I do?  I learned the details behind getting things such as school vans, registering school trips, how to get permission forms out, the list is long but it can get done at reasonable times.  A great tip I learned is take a...

The Journey of Student Teaching: Day 35 Fifth Week Reflections: When Sleep is an Option and so Totally Worth it for National FFA Week Essential Question for this week: What is something you learned while teaching this week? During national ffa week the officers and the committee chairs worked their buts off planning an intense week of exciting activities. So I’ll talk about all of my students everyday and the exciting this they did this week: Tuesday: Celebrate FFA  To kick off celebrate FFA the students wore FFA swag. I put on one of my FFA ties to support the festivities. What I saw this week wasn't all the kids participating but instead multiple kids going, "Darn! I forgot!" Also, it was pretty cool to be the Ag Teacher for a week and be the excited one to see all of the participation in the activities. I enjoyed today because of the excitement I saw in my students on what FFA Week meant to them. Wednesday: Career Success Wednesday the kids ...

The Journey of Student Teaching: Day 20 FFA Advisor Reflections: When a Weekend of High School Girl's Theme Songs Helped Give me the Confidence to teach in Seven Classrooms Essential Question for this week: What is something you learned while attending an ACES weekend? My experience in ACES May have been a bunch of years ago, or how it feels as I write this blog but to me the big thing is the impact it has had on me as a teacher. For one I was use to seeing students only in the classroom. For example I have about four students in more than one class. But now I had the opportunity of being in charge of ... 40 students at ACES. That’s right - a whole lot of students. The best part about the trip wasn’t the number of students it was getting to see the students interact with each other like I’d hope. I saw that these kids though there were not a lot of students they got a long and had fun. I found myself laughing at how silly they would act together, or maybe those ...
