Week One: Check

Me with my badge. Pretty legit, eh?

I am happy to report that I survived my first week of student teaching. I feel like I didn't need to survive it. I had so much fun! My teacher is super nice and the kids are so cute. There are 21 students 10 of whom are ESL and about 10 of them can't pronounce their "r's" which is my favorite.

Some highlights include someone throwing (thankfully in the hall), watching the class in an assembly by myself, faculty room gossip, teaching about Antarctica, and taking over the opening in the mornings. My teacher basically gave me this whole week, so wish me luck!

On a side note, one of my favorite movies is called Once. Actually, the movie is pretty alright but I LOVE the music. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova are some of my favorites ever since I've seen the movie. I am listening to the soundtrack right now. One of my favorite songs comes from that movie. I was uncertain of Kris Allen from American Idol last season (and I know some people hate him) but he sang me some Falling Slowly and he gained a new fan (don't judge).

As another side note, can I say how I love Photo Booth? I do.

Glad to hear it went so well. Sorry I have been in a selfish world of my own lately and haven't called or texted.
