1st day of school jitters....they are backkkkkkk!!! ahhh tomorrow I start 3rd grade..haha and I am having those 1st day of school nerves that I think I and many others have at the beginning of every school year. This time the only difference is that its half way through the year...no one is new anymore except for me. The kids have such a strict routine, every minute of the day is planned out for them. Its going to be weird stepping into an already established place, somewhere where I am stepping in for a bit and then stepping back out ( right before feb. vaca) and bringing my style and energy into such a tight schedule. I am excited to meet the little kids that are going to be sitting in front of me and I really can not wait until I get to teach the end of the cursive alphabet...YAY thats Tuesday... just this morning I was creating a study guide for the mid term exam for my Seniors at North Providence, it is really cool that I get to create their mid term exam, but the switch from teaching high school students and the mindset that they have to teaching elementary school kids and the mindset that they have is going to be so hard for me....here is to the New Year and New Experiences!
YAY FOR 3rd Graders!! I'm excited for you!! I guess they have some similarities, like how everyone (okay, maybe just most people) enjoys scratch-n-sniff stickers and being read to. I mean, maybe college kids wouldn't skip so often if Socrates was read aloud while we all sat on carpet squares! Err...maybe not.
Regardless, I know you will find a way to make it work for you, and more importantly...work for THEM! You are super awesome! Enjoy cursive tomorrow!
To all my fellow ninjas- I made an appointment at Career Development for that scary thing we talked about...the resume. I had to have mine done for that class that starts tomorrow and I found myself with four pages of stuff and not wanting to cut ANYTHING out. Anyways, Linda Kent Davis saw me, and she was SOOOOO helpful. She told me that they service alums too, so that door is NOT closed to any of you! If you need help, GOOOO! I will even enable you a little... the number is 456-8031 and they are open during the college break. So, before it gets busy, go see her! My resume is down to a page and a half after she helped me! I'm making another appointment for after this class as well to polish it up again.
No word yet as to where I will be student teaching...getting nervous. I wanted to have already met my CT and have a plan in place and be working on a Unit plan draft and context piece. Instead I am fighting off the end of the Swine Flu and chewing off my finger nails waiting.
By the way...Swine Flu...even WITH the perscription you're going to be pretty much dead to the world for a couple days. Like, I literally slept through most of this weekend, so, please take care and sanitize often!
It's official! Dr. Johnson told me today I will be Student Teaching at Coventry High School! My CT responded to my first e-mail within 2 hours! She's excited to be working with me and I will be her first student teacher (at least I know what I need now and to ask for it if I'm not getting it). So, I will be joining the Mighty Oakers (weird mascot...but okay). Hope all is going well for everyone! Miss all your faces!
Hey all!! I hope everyone's vaca was nice!!! I relaxed and made some connections at a few different districts. I have two sub positions that are possibilities; Cranston and Providence and both said that they could guaranty a daily position. When I met with Cranston's superintendent he stated that he only hires from within and only that teachers who have been loyal to Cranston. I think Cranston is the better option.
Charlene: Congrats on Coventry!!
Kate: Good luck with Tx
Aimee: 3rd graders!! Oh my!! Hope you are enjoying your time there. I actually went to Np yesterday to get a letter of recom. and I saw your and Allie's cars?? Subbing??
Ash: Warwick would be lucky to get you!!
Rich: How is W. Warwick??
Kellen: Kids are soo cute when th4ey say animal noises, if only we could get teens to stop doing it LOL. Good luck on your search!
