Dr. Seuss Day Is TOMORROW!!!!!

So I had this wonderful thing called a Teacher Work Sample to do this semester. I turned in a 72-page document all about magnetism. I had to plan the unit, make lesson plans, teach the lessons, give the pre- and post- tests, and evaluate EVERYTHING. It was a beast. I turned it in February 27. Hooray!!!

Also on February 27 I changed schools and grades for student teaching. I absolutely LOVED my last school and grade and class and everything. I'm learning to love this one. Here's why:

The good:
* Amazing mentor teacher. She has 27 years of teaching experience and is so thorough in everything she does it is incredible to watch.
* Super cute kids. Second graders are always cute no matter what. Especially when you get to send them home at 2:45.
* Did I mention that Dr. Seuss Day is tomorrow? Oh, AND I get to go on a field trip to a FARM with these kids.

The other stuff:
* The school itself has been going through some changes because there is a new principal. She is really fun but is new so going from a wonderful principal to someone who is still learning the ropes has been interesting.
* There has been quite a bit of drama between teachers the past few weeks. Lame.
* My mentor teacher kind of talks to me like I'm one of her students. She calls me "honey" and "sweetie" all the time. It makes me feel a little awkward.

BYU has wisely had us split up our student teaching into two blocks. They also have you student teach in both a lower and an upper grade. This is wise because we are basically the full-time teacher by the end of our first placement. Then we have to come to another school and start again where you were two months ago. It is humbling, which I think we all need. In talking to all the other student teachers in my school they feel the same way I do about learning to love our classrooms.

I'm starting to look for teaching jobs too so if you have ANY pointers for me I would be grateful for them because I'm a tiny bit terrified and don't really know how to do this. I'm SUPER excited though because it means I'm going to have a real job someday!!! Hopefully in a few months!

Lastly, I ordered my cap and gown last night. I'm going to graduate from COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!
