Last Day in Southfork

For my Senior Practicum class this semester I've been teaching 2nd grade at Southfork Elementary in Rigby, Idaho. I love these kids! My last day there was last week and I was so sad to leave them! They say the funniest things and make me smile every time I'm there. They made me a bag and they all sighned it-some even put their phone number on there so I could call them! Then they all wrote me the sweetest cards and I laughed when I read them. One little boy told me I was smarter than the ginger bread man! How cute! Another little girl told me she wished I was her sister! Tender! I'm planning on going back to visit them one more time before I move home, but I've loved teaching them and will miss seeing them every week.

These are some pictures of the bag they made me. How cute!!!

Student Teaching Placement

Last week I got my student teaching placement for next semester and I will be teaching 6th grade at West Valley Elementary in West Valley, Utah. I'm glad that we finally found out where we're going, but I am not happy about 6th grade. I've been teaching 2nd grade this whole semester and have fallen in love with them! 6th graders scare me!!!!!!!! I'll admit the idea is growing on me, but I still wish I was in a lower grade. But for now I'll just look for the positive and try to get ready to start on January 4th, 2010. Wish me luck!!!
