Hello! My name is Nicole Pagtakhan and I like saving memories, so this first post will be about me as a student and things I’ll want to look back on or might want to use when I’m a teacher!
Favorite song at the moment…
Field experience!
- Ockley Green | Mr. Toole’s math 6th grade
- Astor Elementary | Miss Jessica’s 4th & 5th grade
- Terra Linda Elementary | Mrs. Craft’s 3rd grade, Mrs. Piper’s 2nd grade, Mrs. Westeyn’s 2nd grade, Mrs. Taefy-Cross’s 3rd grade
Quotes from some students (& my thoughts)
“Your drawings are trash, have you seen my comic book?”
– 6th grader
He opened up a binder full of hand-drawn comic books, and I was so impressed! This was on my first day too :))
“Is that Rihanna?”
– 6th grader
The teacher likes using celebrities and animals in his mood meter check-in. It was Beyonce.
“Can I teach you how to tap dance?”
– 3rd grader
I didn’t understand the pattern for a while and she looked frustrated while I was figuring it out HAHA I’m still a learner too!
*Explaining Rainbow Friends on Roblox to me because they were trying to recreate it for me to ‘play’*
– at least two 2nd graders at the same time
I hadn’t heard of it before and I’d been playing a lot of games on Roblox with friends so this piqued my interest
“You play Roblox?!”
– 2nd grader
It’s SO funny when they find out I play video games, they’re so surprised!
*future classroom inspiration*
Thanks for reading my post!
Nicole, Interesting to see your variety of placements. Good that you’ve seen some different sponsor teaching styles. Your student comments are cute. I like your thoughts on each.
