Overall last week was very educational. I took early childhood education, SAT prep, book club and creative writing. Early childhood education was a great class to have in the morning. We got to prepare our own lesson plans to teach a class which was fun. We ended up teaching the pre-k students about the seasons, more specifically fall and everything that happens in fall. Block 2 I had SAT prep which I really wish I had taken a week earlier... I took the SAT the weekend before O term. After taking SAT prep I can definitely tell you I didn't do that well on the SAT...oh well. Block 3 I had book club. We ended up reading this book called 'By Searching'... It was basically the testimony of a missionary and her journey, I didn't enjoy it as much but there were a lot of good lessons in it. Block 4 I had creative writing which I would have to say was the most enjoyable class. Everyday we started by reciting a tongue twister and seeing who could say it fastest. We also teamed up and had some one wear a blindfold and describe how an unknown object in their hands felt. And on the last day we did an activity where you would write a sentence and pass the paper and the next person would write a sentence, we ended up with some pretty crazy scenarios!
Some challenges faced this past would first of all include teaching a pre-k class, that was definitely challenging. The children were very well behaved but I think we thought they knew more than they actually did. Probably should have made it simpler somehow but overall I think it went well. Another challenge was running for an hour in the cold this past weekend. Naturally I waited till the last minute to do my cross country workout this weekend and it was freezing out side. Surprisingly I survived an hour running in freezing wind but I'm pretty sure I caught a cold. The last challenge faced was finishing my outside reading book for English. It took awhile but I finally finished it
Successes of the last week would include teaching pre k which was very successful despite a few snags. Another success was ODMs as a whole for the school. I don't think anyone was too sure how they would turn out but it proved to be a huge success. The last success this week was getting my college pics and hyperlinks and stuff together and putting one of those pictures in index...it's a working progress but I have the individual sites for each college with pictures and text so I was working on something all class period.
My plans for the upcoming week are to complete and survive the several projects and multiple tests that are all scheduled for the next three days. I'm also planing on senior pictures this weekend and a cross country meet on Saturday so it's gonna be a busy week
