I found out about...

my internship placement. The first half of the semester (thru the end of Feb)I will be in a 6th grade class. The second half I'll have 1st graders at a different school. Also, my ex ed (exceptional education) class meets at another local elementary school and the first hour of class we go into our assigned classroom and work with a student. For that one I got 2nd grade. So I'll be working with a variety of grade levels this semester, which is such a great opportunity for me.

My internship will be every Monday and Tuesday for regular "teacher hours," which are roughly 7:30 to 3:30. My first day will be next Tuesday, the 22nd, because there is no school on Monday. I'm nervous....but only because I don't quite know what to expect from 6th graders. I know once I get in there I'll be fine. 6th grade is the highest level I will be able to teach with my degree, so I'm interested to see how I like the older kids. I remember being in 6th grade like it was yesterday...it's so weird that I will be teaching that age!

I'll update next week after my first day. Wish me luck.

PS: We're all fine here. We miss Daddy.
