Teaching Stories

Too many stories to tell from my student teaching experience.

But yesterday, a student had a seizure in the middle of 1st period and collapsed from her desk. My mentor teacher tells her kids to run down to the office and call 9-1-1. About half of them go.
She then asks for something to put in the seized student's mouth and someone passes her a random stuffed animal from off the shelf.

For second period, I change classrooms and teach an entirely different grade. So how is it that I get asked from several different students at the beginning of class if I was in Keyboarding 1st period when the seizure happened? By 6th period, every soul in the school knows what happened.

This morning, an adorable resource student asks if the student who had the seizure was coming to school today. When I asked her why, she said, "I made her this picture and bought her this magnet". Then, the student who had the seizure comes in with a plate of cookies she made for my mentor teacher and leaves it on her desk.

So at the beginning of class, my mentor teacher says, "I just want to thank everyone for their help yesterday, and, I guess, just going down to the office. So I guess, just thanks for leaving."

my dearest jen,

greyson is absolutely slaying
me with that sweet little face.

you and derk are so real
and so devoted to your family.

(not to mention that you are
one foxy little lady...seriously,
mother by day, fierce model by night.)

more to come...i'll call you...
just wanted to give you a sneak
peek (and, of course, show off
how lovely you guys look).

praying

that someday one of dave's
clients will want to do
something like this.
