This week, I gave my panel presentation about childhood obesity to 3 panel judges. I had to defend my paper and project for the Legal Studies Senior Project. The panel went really well, and I made the judges make a connection with me on the different laws for children regarding childhood obesity.
On Wednesday, I was honored at the School Board Meeting with my contract certificate. I also signed the contract, sealing my guarenteed job
Today we found out who won the VBCPS Contract, to have a guarenteed job in 2019 when we graduate college. Along with Karen Simonic, I also won the contract! I am so honored to have a guarenteed job when I graduate JMU doing something that I love to do!
This week was Cinco de Mayo! For the holiday, Mrs. Anderson brought in lemon squares, spice gum drops, and sprinkles. The students made little sombreros out of the cookies, gum drops, and sprinkles. The students loved this activity because they got to eat and play with their hats after making them. Some of the students even put them on their heads! For teacher appreciation week, I decided to get my cooperating teacher a little something to show how much she means to me. I got her a flower arrangement that had a lady bug man next to an assortment of flowers. On the bottom of the arrangement, I put a piece of construction paper that said, "Thank you for helping me grow!" The flowers in the arrangement were not real, because Mrs. Anderson, as well as she can cook, she can't take care of flowers very well. I also drew her a picture for Mother's Day which is below.
This week was Progress Report week... YAAAAAY (not really)! Mrs. Anderson was booked doing a bunch of testing this week, but she allowed time for me to do my students quote assignment. From all of the feedback, the most common comment was on how nice I am and how they like me being in their class. One little boy even told me (when we were video taping) that the best part of his day is when he sees me, and that he wishes I would come to school everyday.
Cameron, my student from Australia, came up to me after lunch when I first saw and gave me an orange. I told him that he should keep it and eat it during snack time because I didn't want him to go hungry, but he simply told me no and in the sweetest little boy voice you could think of said, "Ms. King. I brought this from home for you because oranges are better than apples. I want you to have it. I brought it for you." I just couldn't say no, so I took the orange. This student not only made me appreciate oranges (lol), but he also made me realize that kids do the cutest thing and they always look for ways to make others feel special. I have now decided that in my 1st grade class (or whatever grade I get a job teaching) that I am going to have random acts of kindness awards given to one student who was the kindest and most thoughtful that week. I want my future classroom to be as safe, and special as Mrs. Anderson's! |
