Week 10: Coasting

Well, maybe not coasting, more like winding down.

I had my LAST observation today, and it was killer. Everything seemed to go right. My students were off the chain in the best way. I was in the zone like Kobe.

Graduating in three weeks. Am I an adult yet? It doesn't feel like it. I need a job. If anyone has any leads within a 30 minute driving radius of south Denton, please let me know.

Thanksgiving is FINALLY here. I love this holiday so much. Family, food, football. It's all there.

Anecdotal Records

- We were working on blends this week and I asked the class for "cr-" words. You know: cramp, cricket, crash. One student suggests crappie, like the fish. Apparently it's pronounced crAWpie, not crappy. I didn't know that. I said CRAPPY, loudly several times before being corrected by my supervising teacher. I then wallowed in my ignorance while trying to discourage them from repeating my mistake. I don't fish.

- "No, you do not have a broken foot. I'm sorry you kicked the wall, but I'm not sending you to the nurse. Also, I will not tell the gym teacher that you broke your foot and can't participate."

- Fifth grade pirate program? Awesome.

Short week, short blog.

I leave you with this gem.





Happy Thanksgiving!
