Time to catch up on the weekend :)

Hello everyone! So sorry it's been a few days. I've been making it my goal to get to sleep by ten every night and that doesnt leave me a lot of time to do anything but get my work done. Let me recap the last few days for you.

The end of week one was good. My lesson planning is going well and I've learned so much already. I have practiced my "teacher face", met a few students, talked to my faculty advisor and set up a classroom management plan. We have a do good dollar system that we hope will inspire the kids to behave. Hopefully it will. I'll let you know how it goes :)I start teaching monday, writing first. next weekis reading, week after is math then computer simulation then DONE! WOOHOO

My writing lesson plans I think are pretty strong, I made like 17 posters, lists, notes and charts to help them understand how to read research. At the end of four week they have to write research paper and give a presentation. Kind of a lot of work, but I think they can do it!

The weekend was wonderful. Friday I stayed in and got a lot of work done. I'm trying to keep a week ahead so if over july fourth I go out for festivities I won't end up sunday trying desperately to get ready for the next week. Saturday was probably the best day off I have ever had. I went to the beach with friends, took a cat nap in the sun and swam around, played frisbee, it was perfect. We grabbed lunch here on campus then headed out to epereince Taste of Chicago, which was definately as cool as promised. I loved seeing the beautiful fountain and all the different kinds of food. As a foodie I was in HEAVEN. Yes, I tried some great Chicago pizaa and holy moly it was good. No offense dad but that slice was the closest thing Ive ever tasted to how good your pizza is. I hung out with friends and then came back to sleep because all sunday belongs to prepping for monday. I am about halfwy done. I need to make copies, write out my agenda, recheck my lesson plan and do laundry :) oh the college life.

Well speaking of agendas I shoudl egt back to mine. Just wanted to drop a line in for anyone reading, I love you all
