Training, Training, and more Training.....

This past week was the beginning and the end... It was the beginning of my student teaching experience, but the end of a era- the college era. The internship has officially begun. I have been waiting for this semester for YEARS- No Joke!

The week began with the first day of school at the elementary school that I will be working in. Then lots of seminars and training courses. Wednesday was orientation at UAB, followed by 3 days of ARI (Alabama Reading Initiative) training, which will end tomorrow; then the experience begins.

This next week will be observation in the classroom the main goal is to get familiar with the teacher's schedule, students, and her lesson plans. The following weeks will be teaching, but starting at slowly- teaching one subject at a time, until I am teaching all day for at least 10 days straight.

I'm excited about this journey, and looking forward to see how the Lord will bless me and the students throughout this semester.
