New Semester, New School

So this semester in block 3 i have been put in a new school, the school is Alamo here in Wichita Falls. the school is that of an inner city school, as far as this town is concerned. The kids here come from so many different backgrounds that it really opened my eyes to what really goes on out side of the bubble i live in.

yesterday was really my first day in the classroom with the kids. it was so much fun i was able to teach an entire period a lesson from start to finish with little to no help from the teacher, which i really enjoyed because how else can you learn but being thrown into it and just doing it!

well i get to eat lunch with the kids and so after the lesson i asked if anyone would like to sit with me at lunch, i needed a lunch buddy. Not only did this make me feel like i was in the 5th grade all over again, i was nervous that no one wanted to sit by me, how silly right, im a 23 year old afraid of a bunch of 5th graders and their judgement!! haha well after a long pause one little girl said okay ms p ill sit with you, i was so relieved hahah

at lunch we got talking about our likes and dislikes and our families, i could never imagine living the lives these kids do, so many different things going on, and yet they come to school and smile and have fun and make great grades! i can only hope to be a teacher that inspires them to continue with their education
