It's finally the weekend!! I am so excited because we don't have school on Monday so I get a long weekend. I don't really have any big plans so I'm just looking forward to being home. We do have a chance for some snow this weekend. We'll see what happens!
This whole week has just seemed really long. I mentioned in a previous post that I have two student teachers right now. Well, logic says that it would make things a lot easier BUT that's not necessarily the case. Now I just spend my time worrying that they won't teach my kids right! Don't undo everything I've done!! Overall, my kids have reacted pretty well to them. I have a guy and a girl working with me so that's neat. I think my guys are enjoying having another guy to sing with them and remind them that choir is cool =) He has been a lot of help and the kids respond to him very well. It's not exactly the same with the girl. It's not that she is doing a bad job- she's just kind of flighty!
Anyway- I met with their supervisor today to make sure I knew exactly what they needed to do and what paperwork they need to fill out. Since music teachers are certified P-12 they will have 3 placements- one in elementary, one in M.S. and one in H.S. That means that they don't stay in one place too long. That can be good and bad! They are with me for 3 more weeks. It's hard to manage 2 at one time (especially when you've never even just had one!). They each have to teach for a week straight. So, one gets next week and the other gets the week after that. Looks like I have two weeks of sitting there and watching them teach my kids!
Enough thinking about school!!! It's the weekend! Hope yours is great!

I hope you can RELAX a little those 2 weeks! Love you! :)
I had a student teacher my last semester of teaching and there were definitely some good and bad things about it. I loved that I had a little extra time for planning and organizing but I didn't enjoy someone having total control over my 19 kindergarteners that I had worked so hard to keep in line all year. In the end, I decided that the good outweighed the bad and just embraced the situation. I hope things go as well for you!
Did it snow?? Not here...but we have our bottled water on the porch since its so cold outside...and it definately froze them last night :) Hope you make it two weeks straight of having no control over your class!!
Haha, right, three miles is sooo close to running from here to there....sure :)
Hey guys! I'm enjoying keeping up with y'all on the blog here. Just thought I'd chime in to let you know I'm reading. Hope all is well.
