First Internship

Well, I started my internships last wednesday. It's been really good and I enjoy it! I helped out in the elementary last year and went down to 3rd grade. I'm doing 1st grade now. They're really cute and everything but maybe a little too young for me. I did like the 3rd grade though they're a little older and follow directions better and everything like that. My next internship is in the 4th grade I found out about the teacher today and the teacher I'm with now said she's a good teacher. So, that's good :) She brings her daughter to Grand Valley and can choose the teachers she's gonna have in elementary. I was like well you're lucky! My teacher for Teacher Academy came in today and we talked for a little bit. Then the class was writing in their journals so she said she'd let me get back to helping them. So, then she starting talking with the teacher I'm interning with it was pretty awkward.. Ha. So, once they were done talking my teacher from the JVS left and when I was walked past her I said well you guys talking is pretty weird! She laughed and said I know! Then she said they weren't talking about anything bad. Which I'm hoping she was telling the truth :D

It's just like unreal that I'm a senior this year! It doesn't even feel like I am! This year has been going by pretty fast surprisingly! Some days seem like they're going by slow, but in the long run it has gone by really fast. Going down to the elementary is the highlight to my day :) So, it's made some days better :) It was so cute today though because I walk through the cafeteria to get to the class I'm going to. & some kids from the class I'm in waved at me and then kids I didn't even know were waving at me. Ha I was like someone famous just walking by them waving at everyone :D

I'm just still not quite sure which grade I want to do yet. I'll figure that out by the end of the year though.. Then I still I have to decide college and everything hmm. I'm just gonna miss all the kids I meet and everything. I'm already thinking about that part.. :( Oh, another fear I talked about today is that my first class I have when I become a teacher will be like too much to handle or something.. Makes me a little nervous. I guess it's somewhat similar to other jobs because you may not get a long with people at your job but this is still different because I'll be the one in charge and have to find a way to make everything work. Ha, I'm content now with working with somebody not so much by myself all the time. I think once you've been a teacher for a couple years it's easier because you have your lessons figured out and everything, but I'm gonna have to figure all that stuff out. I should focus on the good though, so I'm gonna keep that in mind :)
