I would say the most important thing I learned is how diverse students learning abilities and progress are. I didn't realize how behind some students can be and how far ahead others are. One day I walked in and the teacher had been trying to separate the students into reading groups. She was really struggling to do it because the students were on such different levels.
Another important thing I learned was that teaching requires a lot of patience. Kids are not perfect all the time, and it's important that a teacher can remember that. They require a lot of love and patience to succeed and it seems very important to me that they get it.
