First Week of Student Teaching

I have completed my first new week of Student Teaching, yeah me for surviving. I'm just kidding it was not bad at all. I love the school, the teachers and especially the kids. First I love being called Mrs. Davis, it is so sweet when you hear it from a child. All the children so far are really receptive to me being in the classroom. They all ask me to help them or how to spell something and they are in Pre-K and know a lot more that I remember knowing when I was that age.

I feel really lucky about this week because I have not had to work just so that I can see how things go with school and how much I will be able to work. Next week I start working which is going to be a bummer. I work till 10:30 and get home at 11:15 then have to wake up for school at 5:30. I think that my body is going to crash from this change.I hope that I can manage next week.

Next week I begin "taking over" the class. My teacher and I have made arrangements for me to be full time teaching in the middle of February. I am very excited because we are thinking about some really cool ideas to do with the children while I am teaching. I can not wait to see what fun ideas and activities that we are able to come up with.

Everything else is going great. I am really amazed at Russ because he has been waking up with me and helping me in the mornings. He makes my lunch and feeds the dog while I get ready. I also had a mishap with my stupid car last week so he cranks the car in the morning to make sure that it is going to cranks, so far so good. I am really amazed at how much he is helping me out now.
