Learning On My Feet

November 20, 2015November 30, 2015 | Marisa Donnelly

My student teaching experience has taught me to learn on my feet, which means always being prepared and positive, no matter what the day might throw at me.

Earlier this morning, I met with my second placement cooperating teacher, Mrs. Sopko! Even though it’s been sad leaving my students at MCHS, I’m excited to work with new students and get a taste of the middle school daily life at Forest City! Continue reading →

Saying Goodbye to English 10

October 16, 2015October 21, 2015 | Marisa Donnelly

Wow, where to start with this group? These students were mine from day one. They were my most challenging, but my most rewarding group. And they taught me a lot about being a tenth grader. Continue reading →

Saying goodbye to my American Seminar students came first–this was the first class I gave back to my cooperating teacher, and while they were moving beyond The Scarlet Letter, I slaved over their grades in the back of the room. 😛
