updates.

mood: lazy


Thursday was Back to School Night. The principal introduced the teachers as well as the student teachers during the meeting, then we all went into our classrooms to finish setting up. The parents came in, signed in, and signed up for parent conferences. Then, my master teacher went over general things with the parents [Classroom rules, grading scale, daily schedule, etc.]. There was a pretty good turnout, 9 out of the 13 students' parents showed up. The night went by quickly, but I was tired from seminar and PACT earlier in the day. Anyway, went home and knocked out after that.

Friday, went to M.B. for the whole day. Did more observation and helped the kids with their work. The kids are so cute; they want to hug you all the time, haha. After school, had our weekly grade-level planning meeting. After that, we met individually with our supervisors to discuss our student teaching and the dates that they planned when we would teach our big units.

Starting Tuesday, I begin taking responsibility for the morning routine. Then, next week, I start teaching a lesson each day that I come in [Ahhhh!!]. Our big assignments for PACT when we teach units over 5 days are in October, December and January [one for Language Arts, one for Math, and one for Science]. Okay, time to go watch "Ocean's 13," bye!
