Catherine Scavone, Student Teaching Update

The past couple weeks have been very busy. Recently, my school hosted parent/teacher conferences and I got to sit in on some of my student’s conferences. It was a great learning experience. Currently in student teaching, I have taken over three parts of the day. This upcoming week I get 2 days off for winter break, and I am so excited to have a little down time. My students were so excited about Valentine’s Day and we did lots of activities to celebrate this holiday.

I have finished applying to 4 school systems and will be going to two Job Fairs the week of the 23rd. My funny child quote of the week is from one of my 4th graders. He brought his math homework in to check and did not do it correctly.

Teacher: John, you didn’t do what the problem asked.
John: I did it my way.
Teacher: Go back and try it again.
He comes up the 2nd time with his homework.
Teacher: John, you still didn’t do what the problem asked, try it again.
John: I hate puberty, and I don’t even know what it is.

I will keep everyone updated on my job search.
