On the first day arriving at South Greenville I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. This school was different from the two elementary schools I attended and elementary schools that I've had previously during my practicum experience. When the principal told all of the other students from my class that it was a 100% reduced lunch school, I think it is needless to say that I was very surprised. He also told us not to be fake with the students because they would immediately be able to tell and wouldn't be afraid to call us out on it. To be honest this is the type of school I've always wanted to teach at because I've always wanted to be the type of teacher that turns at least one troubled kids life around. (I got my inspiration from the movie Freedom Writers) So on the first day I was not only excited about seeing what kids we would be working with but also thinking about what kind of positive impact I could have on the children. When we first met the teacher we would be working with we found out that she was a first year teacher and oddly enough that made me feel a little better because we would all be learning together. The teacher also told us that she had the most challenging class in all of the fourth grade classes at the school. This left me feeling nervous about how I was going to be able to manage the students when it was finally my turn to teach. I tried to have a positive outlook and figured that I'd learn a lot about classroom managment which I believe is one of the most important parts of teaching. Day one in this classroom was like nothing I've seen before. The students were all talking out of turn, didn't really handle transitions very well, and seemed to have the hardest time just walking in a quiet straight line in the halls. Once again, this had me thinking "how in the world am I going to be able to keep order in the classroom while I'm teaching!" I'm not going to lie the first day here was very entertaining.
