time flies...
whew! where has the time gone? teaching full time is bizzare. the days go by so fast, but then the week ends up seeming long (especially in the mornings when i can't get out of bed). then suddenly the weekend's over. wow. i'm loving teaching full time. this past week i had three days with a sub because my teacher got really sick so i was seriously full time. i didn't realize how much my teacher took care of while she was floating in and out during the day. i also liked to have her to throw ideas around with and get feedback from. but it was good to be "alone" and really see the full effect. my life has completly revolved around school and planning for school. i'm pooped as soon as i get home and i've started getting daily headaches. they start durinig my last hour - not sure if it's those kids or just the day, but i've never gotten headaches this frequently. i used to brag about how i never got headaches. (guess i've learned my lesson) today i ran the whole clas using powerpoint and the students loved it! if i could do powerpoint for every lesson i would, but borrowing the projector each day, the cords, the time it takes to make a sweet one...can't really do it yet. they also liked that we turned the room into a museum and wrote odes to every day objects. i had so much fun and they made me laugh each hour. it's going to be hard to leave those kids. we talked in one of my classes about my last day and i didn't want to talk about it. i've been blessed with such great students. i'm attached. i can't imagine how i'll be when i leave my kindergarten student teaching or even worse my first classroom as a real teacher. i'll cross that bridge when it comes.

Hey Rachel...
I know exactly what you mean about leaving your students. They make me laugh constantly. I think stand up comedians should come and observe seventh graders because they would get a great routine. There are really some days that I just stand back and think... these students will always be remembered as my first real class. It is so hard to comprehend some days and some days it is so sad to see them go when the day comes. Isn't it amazing how much of an impact these students have on us?
