Boiling Point.

I am burnt out! I had an emotional break-down at the end of my first class this morning. I know this is because I'm a bit tightly strung when it comes to school. I like to do the best I am capable of and I put way too much pressure on myself :/ I am also an extremely organized person and like to plan things out as much as possible. Obviously the teaching program does not condone organization and it can drive me crazy!

I still love the days I get to spend in my 5th grade classroom and am spending all week there during spring break. I'm teaching four different Math lessons in two weeks, so that should be interesting. The fourth one is my observation day.

Creative Classroom is a highlight to my week :) I love the fun things we do and make in the class. I love arts and crafts and it's such a happy light atmosphere in the class.



This week we made "Burgers" out of Vanilla Wafer cookies, Thin Mint cookies and colored icing. A couple weeks ago we made a map of Illinois on a cookie with icing and candy. We've made a fun little box for 'nothings' and spent a few days learning about movement in the classroom. Learned about Flat Stanly and made his sister Flat Stacie(she was helping me at the library). Plus we have read several great children's books. Basically it's my cup of tea ;)
