Interview

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and interest in how my interview went with my supervising teacher at Beach Elementary. She is very nice and I think that we will get along well. I am the first TA (teacher assistor) that she has had, so this will be new for the both of us. She used to teach kindergarten and got moved to 5th grade 3 yrs ago. She felt about 5th grade much like I do. I felt good about this since it proves I'm not the only one who has felt this way and can survive the experience. :) She likes it though as I'm sure I will.

I love the way she has her class setup. She has a large carpeted open space where she does lessons. They do seat work at their desks. This is so great to me because it reminds me of the montessori. It sort of feels like home to see it. I will spend the mornings in her class beginning in the fall, which will be nice because she does reading and writing in the morning - my area of expertise.

I am officially done with the semester and will have a nice break for awhile to enjoy life before August 28 usheres me into the College of Education. I am now accepting all (within reason) social plans that anyone would wish to include me in, or be included in. It is sad that my life is, out of necessity, so out of balance as to be either all mental and no social, or all social and no mental. Maybe one day my life even out and I will be well-rounded and healthy in all four areas at the same time.
