I absolutely loved going to Idlewood Elementary School today.   I knew that I wanted to be a teacher, but those feelings were 100% confirmed when we were in the classrooms working with the students.  I really enjoyed the activity when we were discussing how we can be good teachers – it was so funny to hear some of the comments from the students.  The ones that stood out for me were making classes fun by bringing in board games and other activities to reinforce lessons, and of course the most famous comment…sometimes teachers need to be a little “mean!” 

I also got a lot of talking to the students who just graduated from the UACM program.  I enjoyed hearing how their teaching experience has been, and how well prepared they felt they were for teaching after completing the program.  I really can not wait until I get my class next year!
