I was sure it hadn't been that long since I updated our life....well I was wrong. Trying to start a blog as I started student teaching was just a bit over-my-head. At least it was a learning experience :) Student teaching has been busy with long days, short nights, lots of lesson planning, portfolio planning, graduation/call day anticipation, different children and schedules to learn, field trips to go on and Thanksgiving and Christmas to get ready for. On top of my hectic schedule Jason is working 3 jobs with an equally hectic schedule. Even with all of this craziness in our lives there is one thing we can be very grateful for, that our days at school are at the same place. We get to see each other periodically throughout the day and at lunch which is always a highlight!
With all of these things going on it is very hard to believe that graduation and call day are about 3 weeks away which puts my portfolio presentation in about 2 weeks. I need to pass my presentation as a requirement for graduation which puts more pressure on for assembling a great portfolio. I feel ready for the actually presentation because thankfully I know the professor who is reviewing my presentation, which makes the idea of talking about my knowledge of teaching and myself for 30 minutes that much easier.
