Student Teaching Confirmed!

I submitted my application last week and it was approved. I met with my principal this week and we picked a class together for my student teaching.

Hahaha -- this t-shirt cracks me up!

Drumroll... Please... 

I am going to 3rd Grade! This is where I really wanted to be and I am. My new mentor is super nice. I will actually be starting in her class in November to finish up the last 15 hours of my practicum. So I will be there for all of the holiday fun-ness on through the end of the year. I am her first ever student teacher.

Her classroom is caddy-corner to my sons. I love his teacher but she is brand new this year and an intern (alternate certification - has two years to become a teacher but can still teach). She keeps me up to date on policies whenever I miss anything like the new bathroom policy I missed on Friday. My son is very happy that I am gonna be part of his grade level team. 

So I am all set to finish my degree and graduate. I LOVE my principal and she is already talking about open positions for the 13-14 school year. =)  So now the challenge is to see if I can truly make it to graduation with a 4.0.
