My semester at Manhattan High School as Ms. Peak has flown by! I have been in Mrs. Karen Klein's Family and Consumer Sciences classroom for about 10 hours each week this semester. I help out in her 5th hour Early Childhood Development, 6th hour Science of Food, and 7th hour Human Development 3 days each week.
I've learned so much about classroom management, lesson planning, adolescent development in a large school, interpersonal relationships between students and fellow faculty members, and the importance of humility as an educator. My cooperating teacher, Karen Klein has wisdom beyond her years of teaching - I have learned SO many tips and tricks to teaching and maintaining a classroom that I cannot wait to put into action.
On December 30th, I will marry my best friend, Micah, and become Mrs. Holden!
Not too many days after that - on January 3rd - I will begin my semester student teaching at Riley County High School!
I will student teach with Ms. Shelby Muha at RCHS until March, and then I will trade with a classmate and finish my last 8 weeks of student teaching at Anthony Middle School here in Manhattan with Mrs. Alicia Pecenka.
Get excited to mold some young minds!
Check back here to learn about my valleys, hills, curves, and detours as I try my hand at this roadtrip called teaching!
Have a fantastic time with Alicia Pecenka - most valuable teaching experience I had. I am successful because of her guidence and her letting me teach some lessons she knew were crappy so I would learn. Have a great time at your wedding!
