Student teaching has been many of things: fun, hard, busy, crazy, full of meetings, teary eyes, long days, full moons, happy days, lesson planning, copying papers, grading, and many memories made.

Unfortunately, one thing never gets said enough: thank you to my supervising teacher.

Thank you.

Thank you for letting me move into your classroom. I know it isn't always easy having an extra person in your space, following you around, and going to every meeting with you. Thank you for letting me in and taking on having a student teacher.

Thank you for letting me meet, teach, and learn to love all of your students. They might have been shy when they first met me, but after getting to teach each of our students, I have learned to love each of them. They have become my own students. They are the students that I will never forget and always remember years later when I host my first student teacher in my classroom.

Thank you for showing me the good side of teaching -- seeing our students learn. Thank you for showing me the bad side too. Everyday lessons do not go according to plan or will every child behave. Many people think our job is always happy, playing with kids, but that isn't the case at all.

Thank you for adopting me as an extra student and coaching me into becoming the best teacher I can be. You've signed countless attendance logs, filled out multiple evaluations, and helped me grow as a teacher.

I can't seem to thank you and the school enough. You all will forever be apart of my heart and I will always be apart of your school community.

Thank you,
Your Student Teacher
