Final reflection by Zoe C. Smylie

What do I remember most about my experiences in the classroom?

zsmylie — 2023-11-28 22:58:14 UTC

My most favorite experiences in the classroom were seeing their faces absolutely light up when I would enter the classroom when returning to complete another hour. I would also enjoy them seeing me outside of the school and them knowing who I was. When I remember those experiences I begin to think about why I want to become a teacher in the first place.

How do you plan to create and continuously reform your classroom for student success?

I will take what I have and what I will continue to learn and turn that into a environment that children will come to love and enjoy as I mold their minds for the future. After I learn what I can from butler and the school I advance to from here I am sure that I will continue learning from experience and other teachers that will help better my classroom.

How did this course meet your expectations?

This class has continued to widen my knowledge about children and how I will run my classroom in proper ways. It has also given me the experience in the classroom that I am grateful to have while learning what it takes to become a teacher.

Did you meet your own expectations in this course and/or how you could improve yourself?

zsmylie — 2023-11-28 23:12:16 UTC

I personally think I did meet most expectations. The only thing I know I could improve on is trying harder and working on my creativity as well as putting my passion into my projects.

Are you going to continue on your path to becoming a teacher?

zsmylie — 2023-11-28 23:35:34 UTC

As of right now I do believe I will continue on the path to becoming a teacher. Every so often I wonder if this is actually my calling. but with a lot of talking to my mom and God I have decided that I will keep on trying to do my very best.

What is your plan to finish your degree?

zsmylie — 2023-11-28 23:38:33 UTC

I will finish attending classes at Butler and I think I will move on to Fort Hays or Emporia State. Those have been my top schools since before I even graduated high school. I believe that those schools will help me finish the best I can.
