Today I am wearing Berry Peach Lip Smackers

I am so bored at work today. It is the end of the term and there's an assembly. Basically, half of my kiddies are failing at least one of their classes...and yet they are partying it up at the assembly.

Oh well.

Last week, I was down in Saint George observing a school down there. It is a language emergent school where each teacher has a sort of team teacher. One day, the students will learn in English and the next day they will learn that same thing in Spanish and the other class will learn the first day in Spanish and the next day in English. I was in a second grade class and I was able to switch between the two classes. It was an interesting set up, but it was cool to see. I love the kids. They are my little amigos who called me maestra and I said little things to them like "muy bien Carlos" and "como se dice ______?" (I said that a lot). I loved the second graders because one minute they were sooooo onrey and tattled about everything, and then the next minute David lost a tooth and they were sooooo excited. Ballet West came for an assembly one day and my teacher had to hold an emergency recess afterwards to let them get their dance out...even the little boys. It was super cute. I sure miss them.

I also went home to see my other amigos in el Provo who live en mi casa. I sure miss them, but get this: I will be home for good in like 5 weeks!!!! Holy Cow!!

p.s. Sometimes I speak fake Spanish...the kind where I mix in Spanish words into normal English sentences. It drives my dad crazy! Haha

Yay

So if you ever feel way gross about eating something, just direct your attention to THIS website.
You won't feel so bad.

P.S. Will someone help me fix my blog?

So I guess I forgot I had this blog...

Sorry for no updates! I've just been kind of busy. Plus, my computer is super sick with 40 different viruses so I have to use my internet time wisely when I have access to it.

Here's what's been up:
-I am back working with my Native American friends. It's good to be back at work, making some money after going all summer without any! The majoirty of them are still failing and giving me grief about not wanting to do their biology homework because their teacher is so mean and failing their test on purpose will show him! I tell they really don't care, but they fail anyway. Oh well, I am glad to be back except someone keeps stealing all my post-it notes...

-School is a bit overwhelming. Gotta love them 18 credits! I am so happy to be almost done! I have taught some lessons and I am learning some really great things. We don't really take tests in my classes (which is very nice) but everything is assessed with lesson plans, evaluations, and portfolios. I love it! Yesterday we made learning centers and we set them up at the SUU preschool and we get to teach them today. My center is about music so we are making rain sticks and they are going to learn a song and play with their sticks. I am super excited!

-As a part of my block classes, I have a practium class. I was placed at Cedar Middle School in a 6th grade class. A few months ago, people would ask me what I want to teach and I would say, "the younger grades like 1-3" but I am seriously loving these 6th graders! I taught multiplication last Thursday and gave a few spelling tests. It's the greatest.

-I got called as a Relief Society teacher. The bishop told me he had high hopes since I was an education major (which means nothing, btw) My first lesson is this Sunday. Wish me luck!

-The other night, I went to Wendy's with my roommate. We went through the drive-through. I went to pay with my card and as she was handing it back to me, she threw it and it fell in front of my car. I then had to get out and go pick it up. This has never happened to me before and I have never seen this happen.

-I am pretty sure I am going to marry the student body president. Pretty sure. (I mainly just wrote this to see if anyone will read this. haha but seriously)

Anyway, that's what's been goin on. I'll be better with the updates!
