So after a rocky couple of days I finally figured it out! I once again know why I want to be a teacher! Although it's so much harder than I ever expected, and takes so much more time and effort than I ever dreamed, I love it!
Case #1: Last week I got to help a girl on her math assignment. We tried a couple of different methods until she finally got it. She was so excited! She said, "Finally I get something!"
Case #2: My field partner and I had the assignment of doing an "intervention" with some students who were not performing where they should be. The teacher asked us to help them with math. We were both pretty nervous. But my dad helped us come up with some activities for them and after a few short times of working with them they all improved their math test scores!
Case #3: When we went to leave the class on our last day.... I didn't want to. The students all clung to us. They told us they didn't think we should leave. One boy even stood at the window signing "I love you." :)
Although I'm just beginning to see the hard parts and have no clue what it's all about, I'm so excited to be a teacher!
