Time moves forward..

Obviously! But seriously, I am not sure how we are already talking mid-terms & spring break; I feel as if we just started.
Having said that, I met with my advisor today & found myself conversing about classes in Fall of 2013 - yes, really! Forward thinking at its' best....
In the meantime, I taught my first whole group lesson at Lincoln last week. Simple stuff with a 'read-aloud' - preview, prediction & story time. My class was wonderful, and I am finding that I enjoy them as much as my first graders from level 1! So the good news is, there is no doubt that I have made the right decision. Teaching is just what I want to do! Bad news? I have no idea what grade I want to teach; I seriously love them all! My middle level field experience is coming though, so we shall have to see how that goes.
Highlight of the read-aloud lesson? Has to be when Jalen, our 'sometimes difficult, always a character' personality plus, praised my newly colored hair....... and on a more educational note, when the kids all commented on how much 'stuff' there was in the Magic School Bus book that they had no idea was there "Mrs Bryson, I am going to start reading the books and not just watching the TV show, that was way cool"! Success!!
