Tuesday's Slice of Life
Today was the first day I interned for my kindergarten classroom in the morning! I was awake early and needed TONS of coffee to get my brain flowing. I was so excited to enter the classroom I am assigned to and see all of the smiling faces. However, at the same time I was so nervous (there was butterflies in my tummy). What if the kids didn't like me? In what way would I embarrass myself today? What if I do or say something wrong? The possibilities of "failure" were endless. Until, I stepped in the classroom and I saw how excited the students were to see me! "Miss Dickie, Miss Dickie!" they exclaimed as I walked in the door. One little girl even said "I am sooooooo glad you are here today Miss Dickie, you are so sweet" and I about melted!! The moment I walked in the teacher asked me to lead the students in a song, "If you are Happy and you Know it". I was terrified but I started singing and the children were laughing and singing back. Then it hit me, no matter what mistakes I make, no matter how goofy I act, the children loved me and looked up to me. I will NO longer be self conscious walking into a classroom. I will walk tall and proud knowing the children think teachers are amazing no matter what! STAY GOOFY AND FUN MY FRIENDS!!!
With much love,

Congratulations at finishing your first day! After 21 years of teaching, I still get butterflies in my stomach before the first day. Enjoy the little ones.
ReplyDeleteI felt the exact same way walking into my 1st grade classroom this morning! I think this semester will really open our eyes and have us get a good grip on what student teaching/teaching in our own classrooms will be like in the near future. Glad your first full day was so great!
