Well, I finally broke down and decided to update my blog. My life is really mundane (which I completely DO NOT mind!), so I don't have anything spectacular to blog about most days. I could tell you lots of Callie stories that are so cute and funny, but I'd rather spend time with her than take time to type them! :)
My student teacher is doing pretty well so far. It's so funny that I didn't realize all of the things I do and say that he doesn't just do. I know I've learned some things in the past couple of years while I've been teaching, but I just took for granted that I already knew those things. So, I am able to guide him and instruct him more than I thought I would be able to. He's coming around too. I'm trying not to make him just like me, but I try to get him to think about the way I would do certain things. Here lately, he will say things like, "yeah, that's what I was thinking." So, that's a good sign. We are starting to think alike, which means he's growing as a teacher and beginning to think more like a teacher.
The kids are warming up to him too. They pouted and looked at me with sad faces for a while when he first started, but they are learning to like him too. I can't say it didn't make me feel SO loved that they preferred me, but I'm sure by the time he gets ready to leave, they will be giving HIM the pouty face! That's okay. I can handle it. He will start teaching ALL of my classes next week for 4 weeks. What in the world will I do all day?!?!?! :) (woohoo! break for me!)
Well, I'm off to visit with Andy. Basketball season is finally over (I can hear the angels singing Hallelujah in the background...). I think I may have my husband back for a while, that is, until church softball starts up and the Braves. Then it's college football, then basketball.......sigh. :)
