Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the job! I am going to be a first grade teacher at Eagles Aerie Charter School! I am so excited!

Last Week

So I totally suck at this blogging thing. Sorry for those who check my blog. My hope was that I would update at least once a week while I was student teaching. As you can see I did it the first week and now I am writing on my last week! So two out of sixteen is really crappy sorry.
Anyways, my student teaching is ending this week and I am really excited because that means that I graduate in two weeks. On the other hand though I am really sad because I have to leave my kids. So I have some mixed emotions about the whole thing.
So exciting news is that I put in an application for this charter school in Gilbert and they called me in for an interview. I was extremely nervous but it went well and they liked what they saw and asked me to come back for a second interview on Monday! They asked that I had a lesson prepared so that I would be able to teach it to them. That also went really well so now i am just waiting for them to call and let me know either way. Whatever happens I am glad that I have my first interview out of the way and now I know what to expect when I go on interviews. But I will let you know what happens.

One Week Down! Only Fifteen More!

I made it through my first week! Okay, so I didn't really have to do that much this week and that made it really easy to get through. After one whole week though I believe that I can say that it is going to be a great semester. I love the kids in my class! They are so cute and so funny! For those that don't know I am at Whittier Elementary in a first grade classroom. Today in class they were making folders for the work that is going to be given to their parents during parent/teacher conferences and one little boy in my class asked me if I could guess what his picture was that he had drawn on it. My guess was a house on a hill. He soon corrected me "It is I house built on a rock like the wise man. Just like the song!" He then turned the folder over and there was a picture of a house on its side in the sand! It took all I had not to laugh because my teacher who is not a member had a look on her face like what the heck is he talking and about and how does this girl know this song! Anyways I think that this semester is going to be the best! I can't wait to experience more.

Frist Day!

Today was my first day of student teaching! I can't tell you how excited I am to finally be at this point in my education! I can't wait to start the actual teaching part. I am just kind of an aid for a while and they will phase me in and out of the classroom. So I will get there eventually. To tell you the truth I was a little nervous to start today but as soon as the students walked in they were all happy to see me again and all ran up to give me a hug so that made everything better. I will try to post so pictures later.
