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?

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 week, Hor

My First Day of School... Lab Edition!

  This week I had my first day of school, though it wasn't with my students at Athens Area High School, I did have the opportunity to share it with my cohort members. The excitement of a new year with new adventures awaiting still filled the room, the difference you ask? Well this year all eight of us girls were the teachers this time, making our first day experience a little different.  Every student remembers the excitement of reuniting with your friends after a long summer away, seeing who you have lunch or study hall with, and finally seeing your favorite teacher you have missed all summer. For teachers, your first day of school sets the tone for the rest of the school year. Not only are you sharing what content students will be learning throughout the year, but what expectations you have for them while in your classroom. For my student's I used the framework "The 3 R's in Miss. Royer's Room", this idea came from my elementary school principal Mrs. Zmyslo.

Who I Am

"I am Charlotte's Granddaughter, The spitting image of my Father, and when the day is done my Momma's still my biggest fan." Thanks to the roots that run deep in Centre County, the Agriculture Industry, and the Centre County Grange Fair, I have happily found my place in agricultural education from the first day I joined an agricultural sciences course. I did so without my parent's permission (sorry Mom and Dad). From bringing home my very first pig, to running for Fair Queen, I have had unwavering support from my family. They have watched and allowed for my passion to grow as I enjoy educating the youth and the public about the agricultural industry. This goes perfectly with my love for talking, (as my family knows all too well) and once you get me talking there is absolutely no going back, especially about something I love. My first love, the one that truly started it all for me, was the fair. A ten day long opportunity, where I was able to share with every
