STUDENT TEACHING

Three weeks in and i'm still kickin ;) In all seriousness though, I love the school that I am working at. They are so friendly and kind, but most importantly they are teaching me what I need to know to be thrust into the world of education in three months. I am in a second grade class right now, and I LOVE it. The kids are so energetic, so the challenge for me is directing that energy to positive educational venues. I have had some very cool experiences such as participating in an I.E.P, working with a seasoned teacher, writing lessons around what I want to do (believe it or not, some student teachers are much more limited that I have been), and the list goes on-and-on. Right now, I am teaching for an hour of the day, but next week will move up to three hours. I am a little nervous about that, but I am definitely ready to take on the challenge. I am so lucky to be in a school close to my apartment. I am literally only three minutes away which definitely helps on transportation cost. I shall keep ya updated!
