First meeting

After our first student teaching meeting on Thursday night, I feel more overwhelmed than ever. I realized that this would be a full time job, but it seems to be much more that just that. "Busy" will be the word of the semester! However, I know that God has lead me to teach and that I am following the right path. Phillippians 1:6 is a verse that I ran into in my devotion the other day and felt like it was the perfect verse to lift me up during this time. "Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus" (Philippians 1:6)

Tomorrow I start student teaching with my coordinating teacher (CT). I am excited to get to do pre-planning with her and hope to learn about how things are run. I met her at the beginning of summer in June. I believe I will learn a lot from her and am ready to begin my new adventure!

A new semester!

Hello everyone! This is the first time I have had a blog, so bare with me for a while. I thought I would share a few thoughts about student teaching and this semester. I am very excited and very nervous. I am so excited to finally be in the classroom, but not sure if I am prepared yet. I am trying not to get too overwhelmed and remember that God has it all under control!
I am also very excited about the technology class and all the ways we can help and stay connected with students using technology.
I hope to learn a lot this semester from everybody and am looking forward to what God has in store for me this semester!
