I am definitely feeling back in the groove of student teaching. I'm very happy to be back at Crichfield, and I have missed my class a lot! It's funny how fast things can just pick right back up where they left off. I am enjoying getting to know a student that came to into our class while I was gone. He seems to be a really cool kid, and I'm looking forward to getting to know his personality as well as I sometimes think I know the other kids.
Funny little story. Today, one of the boys in my class (J) wanted to show off a new book that he got about the solar system. I decided that it was ok if he did a little 5-10 minute presentation of his book because he was SO excited. Well, he started talking about the sun, and how something happened with it 5 billion years ago. One of the kids asked a question about it, and they got on the topic of how long 5 billion years is. J's response to the question was "5 billion years is, like, a really long time ago. 5 billion years ago was, like, when your grandparents were born."
LOVE KIDS. They're awesome and hilarious. Not to mention the fact that this solar system book sparked all kinds of conversation about the world ending and all of the possiblities. It ended up being a very interesting presentation!
Also, in other exciting news (not letting myself get too excited), I've been moved on to the first interview stage for a Charter School in Chicago. I am REALLY excited about this! They sent me some information to look over, and I have to prepare a 15 minute presentation in response to a given scenario. They are really nice, and said they didn't want to have me make the trip to Chicago since I'm in Indiana. Instead, we are having a conference call. I'm very excited that I'm even STARTING to hear anything back! :)
That's about all I know for now. Roger is great, and kicking butt at his new job. I'm really proud of him and excited for him. He's going to do GREAT with that company! He's starting the roommate and apartment search process in Chicago, so if you know anyone looking for a roomie in downtown Chi town let me know!
That's all! Good Night!
