When I first got my placement I was nervous if I would get along with my CT and how she would have my work in her classroom. Coming in mid year would be a challenge already with the students unfamiliar with me and try to walk over me to some point. But my CT has been someone I have learned so much from. Her structure to her classroom, and the authority she has in her classroom is awesome. The students respect her, and they understand when they get in trouble that they did something wrong and they deserve their consequence.
We roll our eyes at each other, and laugh when a student tells us something funny. We have definitely developed a relationship that I can see lasting for a long time. She even asked if she could have me back next year, that made me feel so loved and important. She has told me multiple times lately that she loves having me in the classroom, and working with the students. And this morning we were each others strength in a difficult situation.
When she called me Sunday night, I felt loved that she included me in what was happening and encouraged me to come to staff meeting this morning which was a great experience in a time of need in the building.
She has made me less nervous about meeting my next CT and then my building principal and staff when I get my first job. I am for sure not nervous to approach her about anything, which makes me feel glad that I am gaining so much from her.
