Day Uno

I'll admit it. My ego took a definite hit when I walked into the classroom today and one of the students said, "WHOA! Are YOU in sixth grade?" Something about my black pants and lavender collared/button down shirt didn't give away that I was 11 years older. Hmm. Ego hit.

The teacher I'm student teaching with definitely blew me away today. I saw her do incredible, incredible things--things that were effective, student-centered, amazing things--and it made me humble. Like embarrassed to consider myself at all experienced even though I've been in a teacher ed program for a year. Having seen what I saw today, I am certain this woman will teach me a lot--possibly far more than I could have imagined. (That is if I can keep up with her!)

Basically, the day just simply went well. I'm dragging a tad after ice blocking last night (the cops only gave some of my gang a warning.... the rest of us went un-detected in our camoflague outfits...). Despite the hint of tiredness, I did hit up E9 with a few friends tonight early--our team "Albah" finally beat out the competition "Poo" at bar trivia. It was chill, especially after a day of being in the classroom and hitting the gym after school.

Day two commences tomorrow...
