One Happy Busy Bee!

I love the days when I am teaching, the sun is out, the math lesson of the day brings us on to the playground, and the Principal shares an awesome review with me about how well I did the previous day! It's days like today that make me thankful I'm in this profession!

I am still busy trying to get all of my Intern substitute paperwork in. It's quite the process...so many papers need to be turned in many different places and all by a deadline. It will be nice to be paid for a few days out of my 6 week internship. =)



I was able to interview a K, 1st, and 2nd grade teacher today about their teaching philosophies, their methods of instruction etc. It was fun to just listen and look around their rooms. It's nice to see what experienced teachers are doing, what they have learned over the years and to see how I could incorporate their methods into my own teaching!

I miss my cohort members so much! Luckily I get to see the tomorrow at our seminar.

The Time has Come

We survived Winter Quarter, it was challenging yet rewarding! 18 credits, 4 schools, 6 classes, 24 Kindergartners, and 120 assignments. =)

I am thoroughly enjoying my Spring Break this week. I've been able to catch up with all of my wonderful friends I just haven't had enough time to see. I'm still in shock with how quickly this program has gone. Less than 2 months until June 4th and our graduation is soon thereafter. Still undecided about attending commencement.

Seriously contemplating getting our puppy in June now instead of July. I am so excited to meet her. Stella is her name and we can't wait to meet her.

April 19th is my first day of full-time student teaching. I am so excited that it is almost here yet unbelievably nervous. I'm hoping that I can stay organized, energized, and that it will be successful.
