Life Update

Last weekend, I had Fall Break which was fantastic, but it also feels like it was a super long time ago. This past week has been crazy busy and exciting. A lot of progress was made about the Student Teaching that I will be doing next semester. My school was finally able to hire the person who is going to place us. I met with her and she is very nice. She also told me that my advisor had already told her where my placements should be which is extremely exciting. I trust my advisor completely, so I am looking forward to finding out where I will be teaching next semester.

I also met with my advisor. She was meeting with the six of us in my program who are student teaching next semester. She told us about Portfolio III, which is a project I have to complete before the end of the semester. I am not worried about it because it is mainly just putting together projects that I have already completed in my college career. She also talked to us about EdTPA. That is a huge project I have to complete during my first student teaching placement. I am nervous for that! It is a huge project and it is the last major thing I have to pass to get my teaching license. She also gave us our start date for student teaching. I start student teaching on January 9th. That is absolutely crazy, nerve-wracking, but mainly exciting. I cannot believe that in a little over two months I will be in a classroom every day as a teacher. I know that next semester is going to be crazy and I am going to learn more than I could ever think possible. I am crazy excited and would also welcome any prayers you are willing to send my way. If you have any questions for me to answer about anything, please leave them below.
