Student Teaching 2nd day!!

Yesterday (first day of student teaching) was pretty business like. The new principal catered IHOP for our breakfast and we had a morning meeting. Everyone got their planning books and we all (including me) got faculty handbooks. It was very nice! They had my name plate with my handbook and the art teacher gave me a pin she made from clay shaped like a dolphin. That is their mascot. I have a history at Northern Shores Elementary School. My oldest son went there, his principal at the time started me into being a teacher assistant, and my cooperating teacher is from a town in PA 25 minutes from where I went to high school! Go figure!

2nd day- Today was fun! The principal had a continental breakfast for us and because the school had done so well on SOLs last year (highest in the system in all subjects tested), she had a disco ball, lights, and played the "Celebration" song as we all got up and danced around the cafeteria. She said they deserved to celebrate for doing such a great job. Then we had a short meeting ad it was off to our rooms. I started my bulletin board. I should have the picture and a description of the activity that goes along with it by Friday. Homework and off to bed. Like Mario, I too, have a hard time getting up in the morning! God Bless!

Post Created!

Here I go! This was easy to set up...we'll see how the rest of it goes.
Tomorrow I start with my student teaching. She wants me to make a bulletin board. I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I can post a picture of it. Good luck to all starting their student teachings!!
