Failure, disappointment, joy and gladness within an hour.
Surprisingly, I do not want our field experience to be over! Although, I did learn this week how much teachers appreciate the "days-off" because being a teacher is not an easy job.
Thursday, April 13th the students were very hyperactive in a negative way. The best part is that my guided reading was that same day. I had a plan, everything was to run smoothly, I'm prepared, okay maybe I expected some bumps, but I found myself doing the guided reading and trying to come up with a plan B, plan C, D, E, F, but nothing was popping in my brain. I wanted to cry and felt like such a failure, but then that ah, ha moment came! Cynthia is best at making games, and making things fun! Therefore after my two failed guided readings, my other 3 guided readings were a hit! I wanted to burst out with happy tears! Honestly, I have been going out to recess with the students, but that day I just wanted to go home. But, yes but, I managed to tell myself, "teachers undergo this all the time, but you don't see them going home, so stay and have fun at recess, continue to fight this good fight!"
