week of reflection: 11/18/16

I give this week a 5! It has been a relatively easy and stress free week. I didn't have school on Friday because my CT had a previous engagement to attend to. So I took advantage of that and went and did one of my end of experience observations at a middle school in the area. What a fun experience to get out of my classroom and get to observe somewhere differently. This was awesome for me because I've been leaning towards teaching middle or elementary anyways! I typed up my observation report for that already and am knocking out pieces on my portfolio. So I'm getting very excited for graduation! It is just a month away!!!! All of my hard work is paying off and I'm close to my first degree, it is just a really awesome feeling. This week I attended the CMS (Charlotte-Mecklenberg Schools) job fair. That was a different experience to go and see all of these schools. I felt like I was selling myself, but I'm glad I got the practice there so when I attend the Gaston County Job fair I won't feel as awkward.  This week at school I haven't been doing as much, for I am fading out of my responsibilities. In 4th period I have been working a lot on my concert band piece and we also have been meeting after school for flute choir. That honestly is a huge highlight for my student teaching experience. Next week is only a two day week and I have never been more ready for a break. I really miss being home with my family. Going forth I just want to finish up all of my requirements for student teaching, get my name out there more for jobs, and have a happy rest of my time as  student for now.  WE ARE SO CLOSE YOU GUYS!
