Today was my first day of student teaching...I was so nervous and scared and now I don't even know why... It's a class of 16 with 9 boys and 7 girls. They are rowdy and energetic! ...just like my second graders [in Palau!]. But over-all they are so cute and adorable.
A friend told me to tell him something that had happened during the day. Here's a good one! One of the boys got a 100 on a speling pretest, but got the bonus wrong. (If they get a 100 they don't have to take the Test tomorrow). He fixed it and came and told me that I had graded it wrong. I was so dumbfound how it had happened, but I went to go fix my error with the teacher. That's when the teacher asked him, "Did you cheat? Did you erase it and cheat?" I was shocked! I had not even thought of that possibility and couldn't even see how it was possible. But sure enough he admitted to it.
I know I've been saying a lot that I just don't know how I feel about teaching, that I'm not looking forward to this semester, but...I'm finally excited about teaching and looking forward to tomorrow!
My interview with the library went awesomely! I am proud to say that I got the job within the hour!! I'm so excited and thankful! Everything seems to be working itself out just perfect. I just pray that I have the strength to get through this semester...
