KP Wrap-Up

I have completed my student teaching.

Wowza. That feels good to type.

Still sounds a little funny when I say it, still makes me sad when I think about my students, but it feels so good to be done.

I actually have some pictures. On my last day, I made all my classes take group pictures with me. Most of them did it. They are all quite awkward pictures, but they make me smile. Especially since none of them could get the idea of creating rows, so they all just stood hidden behind each other. Maybe that was their plan...

Second period. Started the semester with 6 students, ended up with about 16 by the time I left. Since it was Friday, there were a lot of absences. This was a great way to start my day of teaching. Such goofs.

Third period. This class changed members so often, some of these students I only had for three weeks. My favorite one in this picture is in the black cardigan; he really likes to think he's tough and cool. I guess for a freshmen, he is.

 Fifth period. This was actually our largest class. It also had the largest amount of students who refused to take their picture with me. Lame. A hard class for me to teach, but some really great students.

 Sixth period. I love this class. All around top notch. Crazy, but top notch.

Eighth period. The craziest possible way to end a day of teaching. They were nuts. But so great. The one giving me bunny ears was one of my favorite students over all. He also told me he could talk to his aunt and hook me up with a job at T-Mobile.

I miss them already. Mostly just because I know I won't see them on Monday.

Surprisingly, I didn't cry at all on Friday. It was strange, I expected to. But the more I think about it, the more I'm pretty sure this won't be my last time at KP. It feels like it did when I was leaving Waco the first time; I knew I would be back. I'm pretty sure I'll be back at KP.

It didn't feel like good-bye, merely a see you later.

Until next time.
