transitions: culture/rapport

My transitions from elementary to high school have been exciting its way different then obviously but just the kids in general there older and have bigger attitudes, and phones and devices are such a huge problem here at Marion they have rules setup to keep kids off the phone but kids will freak out if you push them to that point. the culture here is fantastic but again while trying to teach everyone just gravitates to trying to get on phone. i believe that the weight room i work in is fantastic because there not aloud on there phones.  overall great school just a cellular device problem and i think that nation wide.

transitions / goodbyes

 This week was very hard for me in the terms of mentality of trying to put in a happy face even though I was kind of sad to see all my newfound students and all my new coworkers and friends for the last time. I tried very hard over the last few weeks to really overemphasize how grateful and how important it was that I needed to learn skills that I picked up from my cooperating teacher as well as my school. I believe that in every good bye There's an opportunity to say hello again as well as this could be the last time I know that sounds kind of silly but I'm trying to make a good impression on everyone I need regardless of what school I'm at or what grade level it might be. But I have a good relationship with the school even as a student teachers and important task just because I know there's a lot that goes into being a good teacher but it's what it takes to be a good staff in a building as well . I received letters of recommendation which was very important to me as well as thoughtful of them to give me because I know that helps me and my future endeavors but any who I am very grateful for at the time I spent in Novak Elementary and I'm even more grateful for the relationships and friends I have now made.
