Workshop,workshop,workshop!!

Wow....these past 3 days have been intense! Workshops from 8 am to 4 pm each day. I am offically working now...just waiting on the paycheck....that'll be a little while to wait thats for sure....Tomorrow I start working on campus. Im excited to jump in there! Looking forward to getting my assistants opinion of things and see how we can make things work better!! I've got tons of lesson plans to get together and other supplies for Meet the Teacher Day on Monday.
Its been weird not seeing David as much as Im used to but we're making it...just a minor adjustment and sacrifice we're making for the moment.
He's really excited though as he will be attending a pre-season Dallas Cowboys game!! And I'll be heading to Dallas to hang out with my bestie!! YAY!! Sam Moon here we come!!

Well....I am gonna start looking for beginning of school activities!!

Busy and Trying to Remember!!

Well these past 2 weeks have been crazy busy...I have been teaching most of the day at school and it has been crazy!! I've been getting lesson plan after lesson plan done. Aside from that I've had a crazy personal life on top of all of that..All I can say it I am praying to God that things go back to normal. School has been good...busy but good...the kids are getting more and more used to me being in charge and thats really all I can ask for. What I've had the hardest trouble with lately is remembering to make copies of things or even where I put things. I lost my very first paper this past week and I thought I was gonna go crazy. I also signed up for one more Bilingual Exam and lets just say the prices went way way up compared to last year! I am currently working on next weeks UNIT PLANS and then on lessons for the last week of my first placement. This coming Thursday I have my last observation for this time period....lets hope it goes well. For those that read this please pray for us that things can get back to normal and that school continues going well for me!!

Oh the Possibilities!!

Well I officially survived the 2nd week of Student Teaching. I was able to get more involved this week. I taught morning calendar which was fun as the kids helped walk me thru it!! It was spur of the moment cause my teacher needed to step out to go to the office. I was so excited to learn my new Spanish word for the day POPOTE meaning straw. We also got a new student which was a wonderful learning exeperience because you spend all the time before school getting folders ready, labeling desk and books and then in a matter of minutes you need to catch a student up to where the rest of the class is. So needless to say I got crayons, books, notebooks, sticker, desk name tags, chore star and spelling/phonics papers ready!! When we asked him where he was from he told us Hollywood I just love kids imaginations. Aside from impromptu teaching this week I also started planning my lesson plans for next week. Let me just say it is time consuming. I have lesson plans to start for the week after also but I'm excited I've decided to teach the kids LEAVES-FALL for my 3 day unit. I really think that they'll enjoy it regardless of how Texas weather really is. Perhaps the most exciting thing that happened this week was my Sub offer to teacher permanently while my teacher is out on maternity leave. Let's keep our fingers cross that it might happen because the experience alone is SOO WORTH IT!!
