I just can't wait to be King! (Queen)

Ok sure I stole that from the Lion King but still, it’s true. Our seminar today about Responsive Classrooms really made me realize how excited I am to get into my own classroom making my own decisions and be able to make it my own. Not that I don’t love Scott’s class because I do, but it’s not my own. Sure I got to put “girlie” colors on the walls and we “co-parent” on a lot of things but it’s not my own. That is what I discovered is the hardest part about this program. Sure, the breakdowns are hard and it’s a year of survival but really what it comes down to is solidifying yourself so that when you get into a classroom you have an idea. Only they give you an awesome idea in October and you have to hope and wait until June when you might get a classroom of your own. It’s literally torture. Max said something the other day that made me think, June is just around the corner… At the time it was to make me feel better but it is kind of true. I’m sure that this year will go by quickly and soon I will be my own teacher. It will be so wonderful because by then I will have had many, many different wonderful seminars and I will hopefully be an awesome teacher… I can only hope I will be able to remember all of these things and be able to implement them in my own classroom!
