One year ago I was student teaching...time FLIES!! I was placed in a 5th grade classroom (K-6 licence). It was the BEST experience. My master-teacher and I made an awesome pair and our teaching philosophies were so lined up (or at least my developing teaching philosophy quickly aligned to hers). She is a former Teacher of the Year winner and has received recognition in many other ways. We became great friends through the process as well, and I learned so much. After my student teaching, I accepted a 5th grade position at a different school that only was for 9 weeks, then I went back to my student teaching school and covered a 2nd grade maternity leave. While doing that maternity leave, I learned that one of the 5th grade teammates wanted to drop down to 1st grade (where there was going to be an opening for the next school year)...so that left a 5th grade hole that I quicly jumped in and so now I'm teaching along side my once master-teacher!! Our third teammate rounds out our team and everything is going great so far in my first full year of teaching. This is the kids second week back at school! :-)
Good luck!
