First Few Weeks

Hello world! I am Libby and I am in my professional semester at NC State as a student teacher. I am doing my student teaching at Wiley Elementary in Raleigh, NC and I absolutely love it! I teach 6 periods a day, 5 of those periods are classes that I have every day as an elective. I feel extremely lucky to have been blessed with such an amazing school and CT to see before I become a teacher myself. For the first few weeks I have just been getting to know the kids, helping out on the activities, and learning about teaching and classroom management from my CT. I have attended PLT meetings, faculty meetings, carpool duty, lunch duty, recess duty and more since I have been at Wiley. I think my favorite duty is carpool duty even though it is freezing cold outside. We get to greet all the little kiddies when they get to school and one of the best things ever is when the kid remembers me and runs up to me saying "Hola Senorita Orsega!" So adorable! My teacher assessed the students on parts of the house, body, and family members the other day and the best part was that when grading the tests, one of the students in the class who has been behind was one of the only students who got a 4! (a 4 is like a high A) There are a lot of great things about this school and about teaching Spanish so seriously at the elementary school level, I am excited for what is to come! :)
