Watching student teachers discover their strengths, develop their teaching styles, find their own “voice”, take risks, and have fun.

I’m in an ED class and my student didn’t get pizza for lunch (his favorite). He got so upset that he tore his shirt off & flipped a few tables and chairs in the process :)

When my students began to restate questions within their answers. When I check for understanding during lessons they are also able to explain how they know! This is a big deal! Proud teacher moment!

During P.E., I introduced jump ropes and when it was time to do it I was so surprised that they were able to understand the concept of it. I honestly didn’t think that they were able to do it but they were able to do it. I was super proud of the kiddos who were able to master it super quickly!

On the Friday before the student’s Spring Break we had extra time for students to play on their chrome books. Students sat around the classroom and played different games. It was a sweet moment to take a break and hear their laughs and giggles— just pure joy!

I have too many memorable moments to share! I am going to miss my class so much. I would say seeing my kids “hide” a poster from me today. They keep telling me how sad they are I’m leaving and ask why I have to leave. I caught some of the girls making me a poster and I just feel so blessed. I would also say watching my kids perform in the school play we worked on for so long!! It felt so rewarding and the kids were so happy!

During my ERWC, I had a student swear during a recording and then apologize to me by saying "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say (insert same swear)"

One day I was working with an ELA small group when all of the sudden on student starts to laugh and then another and then another. Moments later we were all laughing hysterically for no reason at all. I love the joy and wonder these students have. They make my days brighter!!!

So many wonderful memories in 1st grade! My favorite would have to be planting flowers with my students for science! So fun seeing the kiddos excited about gardening and being outside enjoying nature!

Watching my kiddos grow in their artistic ability was really amazing to see. So many of them have this beautiful creativity inside of them, and I was blessed to watch that creativity develop in our art lessons.

Two of my most chaotic students holding my hand throughout an entire field trip because they felt safe with me! Gave me some perspective for when they get crazy in the classroom- they just need some love ☺️

A recent "discover" for some boys in my 5th period class has been cologne. At one point, 3 boys had compiled their collections of cologne on a table amounting to almost $1k in value. They made sure to point out how much each one was worth.

There was a day when I felt like I was doing horrible, not teaching well and all over the place. I didn’t feel like my students were engaged and was getting very stressed. In the middle of the day I overhear one of my students say “This has been the best day ever!” Absolutely made my day.

A memorable moment in my class was when we play a song called golden hour and all the students sing along and really use their vocals like if it’s a concert. My favorite moment ever that makes me smile.

The first time I planned to record my edTPA video, everything was going so great. Then.. one of the students noses started to bleed. It was an absolute blood bath! Totally visible in the video so I had to start over, but it was so hilarious at the end of the day.

We took our students to a field trip to a coffee shop called “Down Right Brewed” where they provide jobs for those with disabilities. It was so awesome!

A memorable moment is working with a student who has been struggling to find motivation to work and after much persistence he has expressed appreciation with how much effort I have put into his learning. He has be engaging a lot more in class now!

My most memorable moment this semester with my fourth graders was teaching and observing the solar eclipse. We were able to view an awesome celestial event together! Seeing my kids smiles filled me with joy. I’m very sad to be leaving them.

One of the most memorable classroom moment this semester was the day we did a chicken wing dissection. It was exciting watching them explore the anatomy and then tell me they were craving Raising Canes at the end of the day.

My students and mentor teacher surprised me with a kindness poster where they all shared one kind thing about me out loud and on a poster. I was in tears watching how many students said that I am going to be an amazing teacher and how they wish I could follow them in their journey in school. I’m going to miss them so much!

4th grade: As I’m letting them know Friday is my last day with them, a group of students try to convince me by tell me that they’ll pay my rent, help with monthly payments, etc to make sure I stay.

Another is having the opportunity to translate and help Spanish speakers only students that just started school a few weeks ago, then showing their appreciation by giving me their snacks and hugs haha

A memorable moment was when we had a fundraiser requiring students to run laps to raise money. My students did a few before just laying in the grass, calling my name for me to spray them with the water mister. It was too hot 😂

When I was recording my videos for the edTPA and towards the end of the video one of the students ran up to the camera and said give Ms. Naomi an A+++ please.
