February is here!

A new month brings promise of an early spring, new Superbowl champion and lots of reading days! It is nice to have these days off to work on applications and getting references together. I have also had a chance to go visit the students from my first teaching block. It is amazing how much you can miss a group of students that you have only taught for one month. I can't even imagine the feeling of spending 10 months with a similar group of students and the emotions that a teacher would encounter when it is time for summer break, other than joy that is...I also get the feeling that it must be really nice for my associate teacher to have another person in the classroom. It seems like having a teacher candidate would give a teacher a nice sidekick to help them mark, teach, and vent to about the daily occurences in the classroom. I certainly enjoyed my first block, but look forward to meeting a whole new crop of students in the coming weeks.
