Faith Restored

Another week of student teaching has come and gone.

I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying it.

Before this semester, I was seriously debating 

whether I wanted to teach for the rest of my life.

If you knew me, you would know that was serious.

I have wanted to be a teacher since I could talk.

I know that sounds cliche, but it's the truth.

I just knew it was what God had called me to do.

After my past two field experiences, however,

I was seriously reconsidering my decision.

But y'all.

This semester has completely restored my faith in teaching.

You don't know how happy I am!

My mentor teacher just keeps getting better,

the other first grade student teachers are awesome,

my students are so precious,

and I'm just loving that I get to teach them everyday.

All of that to say,

week two was wonderful.

I picked up morning meeting, number corner, and reading groups

this past week.

Next week I'm picking up math.

(Ahhhhh!)

I'm a little nervous for that one.

Good news: Monday is MLK.

Which means a shorter week!

Which in turn means a longer weekend!

I get to sleep in for three days!!

(And by sleeping in, I mean waking up at 8 am. 

Apparently it's impossible for me to sleep in now 

that I'm used to getting up at 5:30. I guess I'll take it.)

Sorry about the lack of pictures on the past few posts.

I'm horrible about documenting my life with a camera.

Hopefully this week I'll have some school-related pictures to share!

Have a great weekend! Happy MLK Day!
