This week...
Well this week was my first week of student teaching. I had staff development monday, tuesday, and wednesday. School started yesterday. Well lets just say yesterday was a long difficult day. The premade seating arrangement did not work at all in one part of the room. The back group had talking problems all day long. So today we seperated 'em all out and things were a lot better. There were still some problems but way less than yesterday.
Next week I'm still at 0% but the following week I take up 20% which she figured out to be morning work (lunch choices, attendance, calendar time, etc) and morning explorations (science and/or social studies activities that go along with the later science and social studies activities. The next week I'll do the same and then add another subject and being in charge of them during recess. The following week I continue to add more stuff....so yea it's gonna be a long semester.
The thing I don't really like is I don't feel like I actually live on campus anymore. I only went to dinner one night in the cafeteria this week. I feel like I haven't really seen anybody this week. I barely get to see my roomates, I have to get up really early, and don't get home till after 5 in the afternoon. Then I only get to hang out a few hours then I have to head to bed or I'll be dead tired the next day. I really haven't gotten to hang out with many of my other friends either. Most of them have been really busy and I haven't seen them in a few weeks. I miss just relaxing and hanging out with them. I guess this all is just a sign of moving into the real world. I mean my semester hasn't even really gotten started yet. It's only going to get more stressful.
Well me and a bunch of friends are heading to spartanburg tomorrow morning to help jaime and william do some work in their house they are remodeling. Then we're heading back here to SWU tomorrow afternoon. I really need to get some stuff done and do some studying for my Praxis II test I have to take in just a couple of weeks.
I'll be glad when I actually get into a daily routine in the classroom and feel as though I know what is going on and what will happen next. I will be glad when we can get our class under control and they actually listen. I'll be glad when I have several big projects behind me and can just enjoy being in the classroom.
I had a pretty good birthday yesterday. I had several friends wish me a great day and I really appreciate it. I had to go to school all day but then the roomies through me a little surprise bday party. Then of course i had to go to bed again.
Well I think that is all for now... maybe I'll blog again soon :) bye all
