Year One...Finished!
I'm officially done amongst my maiden of all twelvemonth of teaching! It feels then weird to write those words. I'm no longer a first-year teacher. Well, I gauge I'm non actually a second-year instructor yet. I experience similar I'm inwards that awkward in-between stage... This twelvemonth went yesteryear agency faster than I imagined possible. It seems similar I was only learning my students' names a few weeks ago.
I've been slow taking everything downwards off of my classroom walls together with bulletin boards this week. Of course, this started rumors that I was leaving together with non coming back. I had to reassure them that I was planning on coming back. It felt skillful knowing that I would live on missed if I left. Though, I am disappointing druinok yesteryear non applying for a labor at her school...
I'm excited to exercise novel bulletin board designs together with posters for my classroom this summer. I pass a lot of fourth dimension inwards my classroom, together with I desire to relish my scenery. At the get-go of this schoolhouse year, walking into my room would convey a grinning to my face. Over the course of pedagogy of the year, that newness wore off. So, I'm hoping to find unopen to of that magic yesteryear changing things up. I volition definitely reuse a lot of the posters. But, I promise to add together lots of novel stuff, too. I desire my novel grouping of students to experience similar they are coming into a classroom that has been prepared only for them. And, I desire my erstwhile grouping of students to halt by to tell hullo together with encounter what's the same together with what's different.
It was actually funny to encounter my students reactions when they walked into my de-decorated classroom. Without all of the brilliant colors together with posters, it's only kinda bland. Students would walk inwards together with exclaim that something was wrong. One daughter told me that my room looked naked without anything on the walls. They would repeatedly say, "I don't similar this."
Students reveal these things. I am i of solely 2 math teachers at my high school. The other math instructor together with I accept completely reverse opinions almost what our classrooms should await like. I accept lots of brightly colored bulletin boards, posters, together with pupil artwork roofing my walls. I fifty-fifty accept origami hanging from my ceiling. The other instructor has clean, empty walls. I tin encounter benefits to both, but I don't mean value I could e'er plough over upward my festive decorations.
I shouldn't accept to pass close every bit much fourth dimension getting my room laid upward this summer. Last summer, I had to pigment the classroom, hang a dry out erase board, hang 4 bulletin boards, together with displace several pieces of furniture. This volition plough over me to a greater extent than fourth dimension to revamp my curriculum to reverberate everything that I accept learned during this whirlwind of a year. Here inwards Oklahoma, nosotros accept i to a greater extent than twelvemonth where our students volition live on tested over our dry reason standards. However, I demand to start transitioning to the Common Core State Standards at the same time. I desire to start this side yesteryear side schoolhouse twelvemonth amongst my entire curriculum mapped out for the year. This is something that I actually wasn't able to exercise this year.
Tomorrow is graduation. Five of my students volition live on graduating together with moving on to their side yesteryear side opportunity inwards life. I am excited for them together with misfortunate to encounter them locomote out at the same time. As I accept to a greater extent than together with to a greater extent than students locomote out through my classroom, I'm certain the graduation ceremony volition locomote out to a greater extent than together with to a greater extent than emotional. In a few years, I should achieve a indicate where every unmarried pupil inwards the high schoolhouse volition locomote out through my classroom.
