Our trip to Virgina was crazy!!!! traveling on an airplane with two small children is not recommend. They did do a great job and were as good as two children could possibly be while crammed on an airplane that is stuck on the runway for over an hour before your 5 1/2 hour flight :)

I am glad that we were there for Will and the family. It helped us all to say goodbye to Will's grandmother Bernadette Lof. You will be missed.

Great Friends

Thanks to you all for your support. Now that I am in my grove I feel like it is all manageable. I am really enjoying the children in my practicum (student teaching before you student teach) and can see how it all falls together. The work is actually fun. I love designing lesson plans and thinking of activities that really get the kids involved.

My first supervised lesson plan takes place on the 19th. My practicum supervisor will join us and give me feedback on how I am doing. I am going to do a story lesson plan on (Duck for President) by Doreen Cronin. Her books are fabulous and have a great way to introduce current events. I still have to design my activity but think it might be fun to have the children get in groups and make posters selling them for president.

I will post on how it went.
