All eyes were on me and what I was saying had to make enough sense for students to meet a specific goal. It was a lot of pressure! After I taught a couple of lessons and students started talking back to me (instead of staring), everything changed. In order for this to happen, I had to find this confidence that I was lacking. It&#8217;s definitely an area growth that I&#8217;m still trying to completely figure out!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What were some challenges of your experience?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There have been times this semester where I was completely stuck and didn&#8217;t know what to do. As a teacher I know that some days will be great and others will be extremely rough, but I had to think about the end goal and think back to those second- and third-year education classes to figure out a solution! Remembering that it&#8217;s my job to make learning as fun as possible for these students always makes it a little easier.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Can you share a highlight from your classroom experience?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>During my first student-teaching placement with third-graders, we had daily \u201cMorning Meetings\u201d for about 15 minutes. When I first started doing morning meetings, I was really just going through the motions and was giving students that opportunity to talk and say kind things to one another. This worked well for a long time, but then I realized that I could be using these 15 minutes to get to know these students and have these students get to know me. So I made one simple change (that I learned an EMU education class) and it changed the tone of the rest of our school days.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37988\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37988\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2018\/04\/become-a-teacher-at-emu-alexa-weeks-18-shares-challenges-and-rewards\/20180206-alexa-weeks-student-teaching-016-1000px\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37988\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37988\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-016-1000px-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-016-1000px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-016-1000px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-016-1000px.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37988\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alexa Weeks teaches a lesson at Smithland Elementary School in Harrisonburg, Virginia.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Every morning, I&#8217;d ask the kids to show me how they&#8217;re feeling with their fingers on a scale of 1-5, with 1 meaning that they&#8217;re not feeling like their best self today and a 5 that they&#8217;re happy about something and feeling really good. After they held up their number, students were able to share. At first, students would just share really silly things like &#8220;I&#8217;m feeling like a 2 because I got my hair cut and I don&#8217;t like it.&#8221; But when we got into a routine and we started to trust each other in this space, students would really open up.<\/p>\n<p>There was one student that felt like a 1 or 2 every single day, and whenever it was his turn to share, he would just pass. During one of my last weeks\u00a0there, he shared that he felt &#8220;like a 1 because I was bullied today.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This was huge! It was really sad and I felt horrible and knew that this probably wasn&#8217;t the only time he was being bullied. But I was so happy that he felt safe enough to share this with his classmates. I got to see them rally behind him and show him so much love that day. This is something that I&#8217;ll take into any classroom that I walk into.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Did you feel prepared for the student teaching experience by your coursework and experiences at EMU?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_37993\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37993\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/2018\/04\/become-a-teacher-at-emu-alexa-weeks-18-shares-challenges-and-rewards\/20180206-alexa-weeks-student-teaching-003-1000px\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37993\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-37993\" src=\"\/\/emu.edu\/now\/is\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-003-1000px-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-003-1000px-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-003-1000px-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emu.edu\/now\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2018\/04\/20180206-Alexa-Weeks-Student-Teaching-003-1000px.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-37993\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In the classroom with an EMU student-teacher.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yes!
