Another week has come and gone in February! Today starts a new one, and it's the last full week of the month. Wow! Talk about time flying! I love that I am so busy that the days are just going so fast. It has been oddly warm around here for the past week. Not complaining though, because this winter has been brutal. Hopefully this is a sign that Spring is closer than expected!
Last time I updated I was hating my field experience observation. Since then, it has improved. I taught two lessons to 2nd graders. One was a shared reading, and one was the writing process. The writing process was harder than I thought just because they are just starting to grasp the concept of sentences and how to write. The writing process is more for 3rd grade and up. But, it was smooth, and their ideas were so cool. The topic was "What I want to be when I grow up." I was pleased with how it turned out.
I have 4 more days, and I'll have another observation out of the way. Only one more after this!! I can't believe that I am finally able to say that. I'm getting so, so close. More and more excited. And I think that is one reason why I am not enjoying field experience very much this time. I'm ready to be the leader instead of sitting on the sidelines. I also hope that I get a job when I graduate. Teaching is on a downside right now, so it is not the best field to be in. But we always need teachers!!
