Hey Dr. Peterson,
I hope that things start getting a little more simple for you! My field experience has been great! I have learned a lot and am way excited to learn more. I would say that my bad experience would just be certain little 6th graders attitudes, and the uneccessarily low shirts they are deciding to wear at such a young age, BUT truthfully I would say that is more on the the ugly side of things;) The actualy bad is the stories I hear of what some of these students have as a home life. I really pray that they make it through! On a happier note I am learning so much. Tonz about classroom management, and I am very grateful for a teacher who still loves what she does and does it fully. Honestly the one thing that my heart does yearn for in this classroom of at risk kids is some real quality time with them that I feel could be accomplished through morning meetings. I yearn to see these kids open up, share, explore, and laugh. It is a good class they work hard and they work together, but I often day dream about what it would be like to have that insight into their spirits and get a little more of a taste of who they really are. As cheesy as that may sound it is very true.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

These were the words I loved reading: "I am very grateful for a teacher who still loves what she does and does it fully."
