2010 came in with quiet fireworks for me. Spending time with family and resting up for the second half of the school year was what it was all about.
School news:
My classes have been increasingly challenging. However, I have been doing the best that I can. I have a new counselor which she seems to be on top of her job and me. She called and lit a fire under me; holding me accountable for the work that I have and have not done. For me, this is good, it is encouraging and maybe it is just what I need to keep me going. Everyone knows that going to school, working, starting a family, running a house hold and having some sort of social life outside of all of that can be a lot to deal with and try to handle. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I have seen it, I am dutifully aiming for it on this journey. I was able to get my computer fixed FINALLY so I can work at home. This week showed how important it is to have a computer at home. I was able to turn in my assignments this week ON TIME! WhooHOO! So there shouldnt be any excuses.
Work News:
I had my first official observation and evaluation of my Teaching Career. I was soooo nervous about it. I called my good friend Nahema for back up. She came over to give me some help but she was excited when she heard my plan that she only gave suggestions to build on my plan. Of course I checked and double checked and triple checked the plan before it was time to implement it.
On the day of, I was super prepared. I was ready for the show to begin. Down side: the majority of my class was away on vacation so I had to work a little harder than I usually do. The plan was to show them exactly what I do well within my written plan. The observation went well, the kids were into it, the boss who observed loved it and I was happy. AND I wasnt nervous AT ALL!
The evaluation went well too. The comments that were made:
I have great control over the classroom, the kids seem to have a really good time in the classroom and I seem to be very confortable and confident when teaching.
It is really reassuring to hear great feedback from the bosses and the parents.
