This week has been filled with club bell, fire drills, bus drill and a blood drive. As I reflected on Dr. Burns' question, it occurred to me that this is the right place, right now for me. One key event, there was a student that passed out in the hall. I was called to help assist the student, of course I remembered, never leave the class unattended. One of my students was already there helping; she was calm and begin assessing the student that was passed out. After EMS arrived, she stated," I remembered what to do from last year's class".
It occurred to me, seeds are planted that we may never see the full harvest. The students may not know that they are learning, but the seeds are there. This event helped me to realize, I am exactly where I should be at this present time, teaching. Freda
Hey Freida, It sounds like hopefully this year is going better for you.... You have had a busy week and I can tell in my students that seeds are planted as well. When that lightbulb goes off in their head, it makes what we do worth doing everyday :) So far this year I have not been called out of the classroom. I know what we learned in NTI states that we should never leave the students unattended but I was on the fence with that debate. You did a great job! Have a great holiday :)
ReplyDeleteFreda , thats awesome . You are definitely right about those seeds. I also had a student that took those seeds and ran with it. She signed up for a styling competion and she placed 5th and was the youngest student there. When she came back to class she was so proud to tell me and I was proud as well. The statment she made was I could not have done as well without what you taught me. That was the motivation I needed. Keep planting those seeds and they will be harvested.
