Teachers are Heroes

One of my favorite horses left today. I feel lost. I feel as if I have lost a friend, a companion, a partner. This is horrible. I’ve never had to say good bye to a horse before, but I know he is going to a good home. It will be better for him, but I’ll miss him a lot. At least I still have my Nap to spoil rotten.

What is it like to have a normal family? I know “normal” is subjective, but tonight I spent time with my surrogate grandparents. I didn’t get yelled at, and they were able to work together without arguing constantly. I’ve never experienced this feeling before. It was a sense of calm while being around family. You know what? I loved it. Is this a “normal” family? Not being afraid to getting blocked in by another car in the driveway, or carrying your cell phone in your pocket constantly? Not cowering in a corner or having to stay quiet in the living room to avoid sharing your opinions? It was delightful and I love my surrogate grandparents. Just sayin’.

I detest making webquests. Eh.

I love being in a classroom, but I hate typing up all of my observation notes for my education class. Ergh. It’s so time consuming!

Shakespeare? Hmmm. The life and times of Shakespeare. This shall be interesting.

My observations are going great. I love the class and I am learning so much from my cooperating teacher. I get to grade papers, check homework, and help answer questions about the material. I can’t wait to be a teacher. On a side note, I love getting to dress like a teacher — it is so fun! So, this is just a quick update. VHS is delightful. :)

Lessons Learned
Thank you for what you taught me
and for helping me to grow.
You have expanded so much my learning
and taught me what I know.
You are someone I will never forget
Nor the lessons I have learned
For they will never be wiped clean
They’re in my memory burned.

When students call me “Ms.Demas”, I don’t respond. I am not used to being called by my last name! I guess I will have to work on this.
