so i was driving (apparently that's where lots of my random ideas pop up) and decided that i want to record some of the highs and lows that happen to me when i'm around students at school...i hope to have this go on well into my teaching years to remind me why i love teaching =)
Some Highs:
-having several of my students tell me i'm a good teacher (even though i've only known them for a few weeks)...one of my student's exact words during the middle of my science lesson: "ms. castillo when are they gonna hire you cause you're really good!"
-having my guiding teacher tell me i'm going to be a good teacher...her exact words after one of my lessons: "i'm impressed with how organized you are. you're good...you're gonna be a good teacher"
-having a kindergartener (whom i've never seen before since he is not one of my students) run to me and hug me when i was going to pick up my class...he wrapped his arms around my legs, looked up to me and said "hi"
-having a 4th grade student comfortably approach me because i smile a lot =)

Some Lows:
-not having my own class yet! =(
student teaching has been a great experience but i want to have my own class and try my own things!

SOLUTION: FIND A FULL TIME TEACHING JOB...SOON!
PROBLEM: Teaching jobs are scarce right now. But I must keep my head up...oh job opportunity, cross my path soon please! Thank You.
