Student Teaching Pictures :)

Only 9 days left of student teaching for me. It's so bittersweet.  I feel like I am ready for my own class, but can't stand the thought of leaving Mrs. Cade or all my babies.  I already have baseball games, birthdays, and talent shows I have promised to return for! I'm such a sucker :) 

P.S. If you click on the picture it gets really big and is much easier to see. Then just backspace to go back! :)

Student teachers ~ Visitng before the day starts!
Me- being silly. I attempted to look cute at school one day and made the mistake of wearing TERRIBLE heals.  I was letting my feet breathe :) 

Have I neglected my poor blog or what? Nearly a month....GEEZ! 

A lot has happened in the last month.  Let's see- Did my two weeks of full responsibility.  They went by oh-so-quickly, but were GREAT.  I actually start my second rotation next week.  

My supervisor came for my midpoint evaluation 2 weeks ago.  I had forgotten to email her twice letting her know I was in full responsibility (even though she has a calendar I hand wrote saying I was-and I replied immediately when she told me I forgot) so she said I was NOT DEPENDABLE  with me supervisor, co workers, and peers, and that I needed to work on that.  I wasn't a happy camper after that meeting.  She took off in several areas of my review for that - really can't stand the woman! Last week she came back to evaluate me.  I was teaching a math lesson and surprisingly, I got a really good evaluation.  I think that's something very hard for her to give- so I was grateful.  

Right now I am back to observing the class and teaching a few subjects a day.  I have no idea how teachers get through the day, week, month, or year without an aid.  Seems like Mrs. Cade and I have so much to do (especially paperwork) and we can never get it done- even with the two of us.  

I spent Valentines with Holly and Emily.  We saw Confessions of a Shopoholic-Super cute! Jacob sent me a bouquet of flowers and a sweet poem.  I can't get enough of his writing :) Only 11 days until I am finally in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Yippeee! Time really has sped by. 

Last weekend I was in Victoria for heart doctor apointments.  Everything has checked out ok- I'm just going to have to live with the fast heart beats again- something I'm not very happy about. O well! 

I took my final certification test last week too- found out today I passed - Praise Jesus! Now all I have left to do is apply for certification.  A huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.  BUT I jinxed myself- I had to lie to get the day off to take my test. I said I was sick and now I really am.  I finally, FINALLY, went out on the town Friday evening and came home with bad allergies. It has turned into a awful sinus infection.  I get to use this wonderful invention-the neti pot- where you pour water in one side of your nose and it comes out through the other side of your nose and mouth. YUCK!!! It's not pretty at all.  And very uncomfortable.  SO I missed school today, BUT will be going back tomorrow. The kids are taking their TAKS writing test. I get to act as an hall/bathroom monitor.  Basically, I get to read all day. Im okay with that!! Best part- we get to wear jeans or workout clothes :)
