a little bit of everything
My practicum was at Gladstone Secondary School, and to date it has been the most challenging and most difficult task I’ve faced.
So if you didn’t know, I have a hipster cousin named Lina. She’s really cool, she is. Has the ability to climb rocks and things while brewing the best darned cuppa joe you could find on this here side of the planet.
So you might have heard something or other but I got engaged to J over Spring Break.
Since Christmas, I’ve started getting a little more crafty with my hands again, seeing as I took my prof’s advice and wrote all my lessons before the practicum started. Of course, there are always lessons to revise and adaptations to write as I get to know the students better, but I’m happy to say that…
Where were we? Oh, right. Last time, Andrea made pancakes before the stroke of midnight. And now she had the chance to redeem herself. And all her hopes rest on six extra-large eggs.
Rarely do I ever blog about my baking fails (because who wants to spend time reading about a cake that didn’t work out?). But I suppose there’s a first time for everything.
Who doesn’t like getting a great deal? But ah, when you’re a student on a budget, getting a great deal feels oh-so-much better. Seriously.
One lunch-period, the vice-principal at our practicum school sat down with us (meaning my practicum cohorts and I, not the royal we) and asked us to come up with a motto that described part of our teaching philosophy. That’s mine, that title right there. Teaching is learning spelled differently. It could totally go on the back…
Since my account is apparently ineligible for a Scroll of Resurrection (oh the disappointment!) I have decided to do another productive thing and hopefully enter all you dear readers out there. My teaching philosophy’s changed since I’ve started, and really it’s the result of a bigger picture I hadn’t realized until now.
That character pretty much sums up what I’m feeling right now:
