busy busy

This semester has definitely been keeping me busy! I feel like I've been in school for at least three months and it's only been one! I am enjoying it though. I have been doing my practicum hours in an elementary school with a reading specialist and an extended day kindergarten class. I love working with my kindergarten reading group in the morning! They have been progressing so well the last couple of weeks and it's really rewarding. Plus they are darling. :) The afternoon has been a lot more challenging than I thought was possible, but I am learning. Last Friday we got to do a fun thing called Kids College at another elementary school and I taught Biology to a 4th grade class. We did experiments involving the five senses and it was a blast! I think I might actually really love teaching older grades... hmm. I think I will enjoy it wherever I end up. Cherene I know you'll probably read this, I would love to get together with you soon and discuss teaching techniques, etc. (For those of you who may not already realize this, my aunt Cherene is an amazing teacher!! I am lucky to have so many good examples in my family!)
So anyway, I'm in the computer lab working on a few of my many projects and thought I should post a little something. Someday I'll do a longer one.
Here's a picture I took on campus at lunch one day. Big trees are so pretty, especially when they're all frosted with snow!
