I have always known that I wanted to be a teacher and therefore pursuing and elementary education degree only seemed right. Being around students and watching them learn is such a fasication of mine. I love to see a child understand something that the didn't realize they could acheive, it's such a rewarding moment. If I could teach any grade it would probably be third. Most new teachers are anxious to teach first or second but I find that the third grade is a time of transition and that makes for very interesting times in the classroom.
I have always been very comfortable with reading and language arts and those are the subjects that I most look forward to teaching. I have always had rough expeirences with math myself which makes me skeptical when thinking about teaching it to students. Nevertheless, I am very excited about learning just as much from my students and the will learn from me.
When reading the syllabus I learned alot more about the class and became really excited. I was very interested in the service learnng project that we are assigned becasue I really like volunteer work. I think that it will be a great learning expeirence. On the flip side I have never loved research papers so the fact that we have one to write is somewhat scary.
In the end though I beleive I will leave this class with an excellent source of knowledge and I am very excited to begin the semester and see what it has instore for me.
