Omigod it's been a week! And quite a week it has been. On Monday I started my Junior Field Experience at my elementary school with the first grade class. Wow! They are a handful! I won't even go into details, but I come home every day exhausted from them, and I'm not even the one teaching anything (yet!)!
Tomorrow I teach my first real lesson plan to the class, which has to be videotaped for my Language Arts professor at the college, so she can review it. It's weird to write lesson plans for first graders, as we have always practiced writing lesson plans for 3rd grade and up.
We got some snow yesterday and today, and I had quite a bit of trouble getting out of my parking spot tonight at the apartment; I was parked with the nose of my car facing downhill, and a car parked in front of me. I couldn't pull straight through the spot, because of the other car, and I couldn't back out of the spot because of the ice. It took me over 5 minutes to get out of my parking spot. And I almost slid into the truck parked next to me (you had to be there...). Yikes. But I did make it out unscathed, and found a more level parking spot to leave my car in when I returned.
Valentine's Day was exciting at the school, and the children were hopped up on sugar today. When I got home yesterday, I slept for about an hour and a half, then woke up when Aaron returned from the store, where he bought ingredients to make us dinner - shrimp and scallops over linguini noodles, garlic bread, and some fizzy Korbel champagne (tart and bubbly...weird). It was a really nice dinner, and very thoughtful of him. I wish I could be more thoughtful like that...but I can't cook, and I can't ever think of anything to get him.
And that's about it for the last week. Busy, exhausting, and kinda fun.
