Today:

This happened to my shoe while I was teaching.

 And I left my lunch here.

But I still had a fantastic day teaching and learning and tripping and being hungry.

Student Teaching Day 1: I ramble sometimes

(My students now know that my life's real purpose is to see a bear in its natural habitat.)
 

The last four years of my life have been leading up to this culminating experience.  I’ve got a great cooperating teacher, a closet full of dresses and a brand new coffee pot. 

Now if only I could plant my feet.

Student teaching is difficult because it exists in an undefined space.  My role is ambiguous.  I’m in charge, but I’m not in charge.  I’m a teacher, but I’m so very much the student.  

Teaching in a school with technology, paper, copiers that work and enough textbooks for every student is a new experience for me, as is teaching honors; and I am excided at the instructional opportunities afforded by these resources.  The infinite possibilities are thrilling!

Countdown:

9 weeks until India.

17 weeks until I graduate.

Holding my breath until then. 

I wore my Bunny pin for goodluck. I'm 99% sure that it was effective because I  didn't trip over the overhead cord.  Not Even Once.
