Kindergarten

I went back to the school I did my student teaching at today! I love how I feel when I walk on campus. I feel like I am part of the team there. It feels great.

I subbed for the kindergarten classes today with Letty and Kari, the two teachers I worked with last year. I seriously love working with them. I know the routines and everything runs smoothly in the class. I think working with the kids this early in the year is a challenge, but I also think that the kids say things that are much more comical for adults. During the afternoon class I saw my student teacher partner from last semester, Debbie. She is such a nice lady. I love talking to her. She has daughters my age but you would never guess it because she is such a fun person to talk to. I am glad that she was also subbing at the school with me today.

I also observed one of the classes that I will be long term subbing for after the new year. Some of my kinders are in the class, so it was pretty cool to see them. The teacher I am long terming for keeps everything really organized and the kids seemed to be extremely well behaved, which only makes me more anxious and excited to start the long term position. What is even more exciting is that after I finish my first long term I have another one lined up! I am so exited for what is to come.
