September was a crazy month. Wedding planning came to a hault, and student teaching rushed into my life full force. Jon and I are both loving student teaching. He is in a 1st grade at Evergreen and I am in a 2nd grade at Deer Park Elementary. I wish I could go observe him for a day because I think he is great with the kids.
In my classroom there is a lot of low income families. It really opened my eyes when I got there. I love those kids so much and cannot wait to go back each Monday. They teach me so much while testing my patience, but I love it. I have already been observed twice by my Supervisor who is also my Principal. She says I am doing great and that she has never seen a student teacher who can make it look so easy and like they have been doing it for years. That dfinitely made me excited! I absolutely love the school I am in and really hope to get a job there someday. The staff is amazing and so is my mentor teacher!
Right now in Science we have insects. The kids love them, but I on the other hand hate them! There is so much work to do with those stupid things. You have to feed them, give them new water (which is fruit or veggies), care for them, and throw away the nasty stinky ones that have died. It takes so much time! Even when you make the kids do it. I will be glad when we get our Butterflies and just have one class culture and not 23 individual containers!
As for wedding planning goes, there is not much yet. But next week I am sure I will start again. We get our engagement pictures done tomorrow so then we can make our save the dates and send them out! YAY! Another check off of the list :)
Hope everyone is doing well in school and student teaching!
