Overall, the room and the outside area where my observations took place were nicely organized and family-friendly.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner.

As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

This past semesters has been an eye opening experience that has changed my views on teacher. Ever since I was little, I have always wanted to be a fourth grade teacher. However after being placed in a second grade classroom my views have changed. I liked the idea of teaching fourth grade because my fourth grade teacher was my inspiration in life. When I was in Ms. Petro’s class I enjoyed being able to watch the students progress over time. Being able to see the drastic improvements in little children is very rewarding and that is why I want to continue to teach lower grades. I have learned that being a teacher requires a special someone, a person who knows that sometimes you will have to deal with tough situations leaving you exhausted and feeling like you are not able to help more. But at the same time, being a teacher allows one to be a visionary for the world and those who surround you.

Encouraging posters inhabit the south side of the wall. All pieces of furnitures are labeled with their Spanish term to help the students learn objects.

Students enjoy the layout of the room and find that the layout of the furniture and objects benefit them while learning.

As a student, I remember how every classroom had its own group and environment. An
