To much on my mind

When their is so much that you have to do at the end of the semester you are so overwelmed. So when all this comes to be i freak out and try to hold my emotions in becasue i hate to stress about school work. Because if you having something going on at home that you are stressed about also than its hard to worry about school work to. So when i have all this stress on my hands i just try to relax and take things one by one. When i am relaxing i dont think about all the things that i have to do instead i go and hang out with friends because they make me laugh and happy instead of thinking about all the boring things about school or the things that are going on at your house. This does help me out through the hard times in my life. But i always end up finishing up my school work before i think about the things that are going on through my life at the time that needs to be fixed. Being stress about school is a horrible feeling becasue you feel like you need some help.

Student Writing

The student writing was very short and it has a alot of pictures. They show what they are writing by drawing everything out. Student writing is fun to look at becasue you can see what they are thinking and by looking at the pretty pictures.

What kind of teacher do i want to become

The kind of teacher i want to become is where the kids just love me and always have fun in my class and want to be in my class everyday. Being that kind of teacher i think is to be passionate about your job with teaching with the kids. To me i think this kind of teacher is where you would have in the class and make everything you do be fun. I also want to be that teacher that could win the best teacher award.

Looking at this picture i noticed that brick because that is the kind of brick i would like to use for when i build a house. Also i noticed the lady laying on the ground in the sand all by his self. She looks like she is homeless and doesnt have anywhere to be but just to be on the beach sleeping. The blue water and the waves remindes me of spring break at Port Aransas and how pretty it is at the beach but the seawall is very pretty.

ANYTHING TO WRITE ABOUT...

Right now I am soooo tired becasue we had workout this morning and it was hard and than I went and set in study hall for 3 hrs but I did get my homework done. Now I am in class and I am super tired. I am super exicted about traveling to arkansas saturday for our golf tournament. This will be my first golf tournament out of texas. But this trip will be exciting because we get to fly and hopefully play good I am very nervous about this tournament because I have to walk 36 holes the first day and 18 the second day. I have never walked that many holes ever and I have walked alot but not that many in one day. Than I had to make my schedule with my athletic advisor and I am not going to have a break until I graduate. :((( But I hope that time comes super fast and make it be worth it. Monday I found out that I am going to have a neice and I am soooo exicted about going shopping for her. She will be here on Aug. 20... My nephew is going to be a big brother and is going to be the best at it... Love them all...... :))))

One-on-one teaching

While working today with all the different roles that the kids will come up to you and talk to you about your paper. When a kid comes up to me crying will be very hard but i will try to work with them to look over the paper. If you have a kid that just doesnt care about their grade that they got than you need to get them somehow to want to care. You could try to work with a class about if they all do good on their papers than we can have a party with pizza and soda. If you have a begger that comes to you than you will have to tell them all i can do is look over it and try to help you out the best way i can. When the kid comes up to you and tells you that your grading is not good and that he/she has had someone look over it than i know that i will be mad because i knwo that i can grade the way i want to. Having one-on-one conferencing with the student with their writing is great becasue it is hard to work with everyone in the class about there papers. One-on-one is good to be able to help the student out if they are having a a trouble to word a sentence than it is good to get them started.
