Today I turned 21..WOW..I'm gettting old. Last night I celebrated my birthday with Kim, Britt and a 2 of thier friends. Both girls are friends from Dorms. Unfortunately neither Niki nor Ben could be there. I will however, be celebrating with my church friends this up coming Saturday..We're having bon fire :D
the real purpose of this blog, is that i wish to share with you all my experience as an intern on the first day of school.
To be honest, I was nervous. I dressed really nice though. Had on my brand new Kapri's that were beige, and a real cute sweater that went over a dark purple tank top. To complete the outfit, I had on my White sandles...Oh and my hair done real nice! Do you get the picture..Ya..I looked amazing, haha.
My class is a 6/7 split which is going to be a challenge. One MOnday when I had started, My co-op and I were teaching a straight 6 and then with an increase of students on Tuesday we were shuffling students and now on thursday we await the news as to whether they will be giving us a new teacher (we have reached the number that requires another teacher.) There is a strong belief that that will not happen, so please if your reading this pray we get one, all classes have high numbers and even the splits in the younger grades of 26-29 students which is really too many little kids for one teacher.
Anyways back to the day. The kids are great. I look forward to teaching them. Tomorrow I start with my very first lesson of the year, in health (Another great thing, I LOVE Health!) Today, I got to try my hand at intro activities. The activity that i did had students fill in name tags with info about themselves and then on the back we played 2 Truths and a Lie. The kids really seemed to get this and enjoy it. They spent many minutes going around asking and giggling as they found out interesting things about each other. Also we have many new students, so it was an excellent way for them to get to know each other.
We had expected that there was gonna be a lot of problems with the new set up as the parents had been told at the end of the year which class thier kid was gonna be in. HOwever, that did not happen and the although the switch had occured the kids were so adapting, It was such a blessing!
God has blessed me with an amazing co-op. Deb is so full of knowledge, and she is helping me out tons with planning for lessons and stuff. We seem to work great together. I'm really thrilled to see what the next few months hold. Have a great night everyone :D
