3 Days made full of plumbing projects, egg evaluation, and even some wild boars!

 Week 11?! How can it be! This week was shorter than most as we all had 3 days together but I can assure you we made the most of it! Starting the week off, we focused on any missing assignments and wrapping up projects since the end of the marking period is today! We also reviewed from our days on Zoom making sure we were all on the same page before we went on spring break! Yesterday we shifted gears to resumes, pituitary glands, wild boars, fertile eggs, and Shark Tank projects to continue our hard work with the little time we have left together! It was super exciting to hear my students discuss various invasive species found throughout the state of Pennsylvania and how they might differ from other states. 

   We also shifted gears in FFA/SAE focusing on preparing ourselves for life after high school, creating resumes to help with the job hunt. It was awesome to see all my students list out all of their accomplishments and focus what qualities qualify them for the job they are interested in having someday. In Ag Mech 2, we have been focusing on our Shark Tank projects. I am super excited to see their pitches next week when we come back from spring break! 

    Though this week was short, I feel as though I have learned a lot, and I am continuing to grow as a teacher and learning each day how to be better! I am continuing to work on incorporating evaluations into my lessons as well as wrapping up each component of my lessons. I am excited to see my students make connections between the content discussed in class and their daily lives.  I can't believe my student teaching experience is nearing the end! Here's to the next 3 weeks!

    Hi Megan - Week 11 sounds like you really found your groove! I love that your FFA/SAE class is focusing on life after high school - you could probably even tie that into some CDE events like employment skills! what are some review activities or programs you like to use?

Dear Athens,

  Dear Athens,        If I would have been told that the student teacher who walked into the classroom on day one would be where she is right now, I would not believe you. We have laughed, we have cried, and we have had a lot of fun together. I have not only grown in my ability to speak in front of a classroom but through online engagement techniques, labs, evaluation, and building relationships. Each and every student that has walked into my classroom has left an impact on me and who I am now as Miss. Royer. I feel that to fully give Athens the thank you they all deserve I must go class by class.      Horticulture,                  You taught me how to find enthusiasm in the earliest of hours, bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to work in the greenhouse. I will always be grateful for your honesty so early in the morning and allowing me to push you further as we all grew together. I will nev...

Are You Hungry?

Recently, I have been charged with the task of finding a cooperating center.  A cooperating center is a school throughout the commonwealth of Pennsylvania willing to host a student teacher candidate in my program. This task has proven to be easier said than done. You see, it's a lot like going to a resturant starving and looking at a menu. Many times I find myself struggling to make a decision as everything looks equally delicious. This is how I began to feel looking at the list of cooperating centers throughout the state of Pennsylvania, equally as intriguing and exciting. To navigate this predicament, I started with the basics by determining where to look. In the case of the meal, I often look for things that are good for me. So, I have followed suit when looking at schools. I know that I would like a smaller school as it would be a good change in pace for me. I also know that a program in cooperating plant science courses as well as well as soil science would be areas that I ...

Athens is Humble and Kind

  As I began my student teaching internship, I was welcomed with open arms by my cooperating teachers, the other educators, administrators, and of course my students! My first full week included observing, In-Service days, a State Officer Visit, FFA Lock In, and a meeting with the middle school Ag Teacher. It has been an incredibly busy week as I have slowly gotten the swing of things. I worked to master the schedule for the day and finding my way around the building. My students have been so kind and helpful, showing me around, explaining to me the bell schedule a couple times now, as well as sharing with me what they are most excited about learning in the upcoming months. A highlight of my week was when 3 students asked Mrs. Alderfer when she was done teaching Intro to Agriculture because they wanted Miss. Royer to teach! :)  As I enter the weekend I am focusing on finding an organizational system that will work best for me as I begin teaching my first two classes next ...
