Good-bye Student... Hello Teacher January 7th, I began my final course at Moody, Philosophy of Christian School Education. Three weeks, three papers, and three text books later, I am finished with the class and now begin my student-teaching on Monday. It seems strange to be leaving this early while every other major stays at Moody stays until May, but at the same time, I feel ready to begin a new chapter in life. I'll be working with Kindergarteners at a school close to home in Indiana. I'll begin the first week with only observing the teacher's teaching method and classroom management, and then I'll begin taking on one subject at a time each week thoughout the twelve weeks. I have about eighteen students in my class, and I have already fallen in love with them from the short time I spent in their calss the day before Thanksgiving. I'm very excited to finally begin putting into practice what I've been learning, but I also feel as though the whole concept is surreal... could I really be ready to begin teaching? have I prepared myself enough for all the unexpected situations headed my way? how will I have enough time to write all the lesson plans I have to teach? what if the teacher I'm working with doesn't like my teaching style? Praise the Lord that He is always in control. No matter where I go or what I do, He has me in His hands, and I don't need to worry. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6: 33-34 |
