Friday was my last day at Agnes Stewart Middle School, because I start u student teaching at Riverbend Elementary School on Monday. This made me feel very loved. They gave me cards and small tokens to show how much they would miss me. The students, even the ones I don't work with very much, all came to say good bey to me and that made me feel great. One group of girls, who I only see at lunch time, said they will miss me because I stick up for them when other staff seem to be picking on them. I thought all the well wishes would make it harder to leave, but it actually made it easier.

I am feeling a little nervous about student teaching. I have worked in middles schools for the past twelve years and I am comfortable working with this age group. My student teaching is going to be in a primary (K- 3rd) resource room. I will need to be careful about my approach. These students will be so much younger and their humor and feelings less developed. The teacher, whose room I will be working in, already has my groups planned. The curriculum he uses is very similar to the curriculum I have used in the past so that part should be fairly easy. It's the student interaction that has me concerned.
