Thank you everyone for wishing me good luck on starting my field experience! I absolutely LOVE my mentor teacher! She is soo sweet and such a good teacher! I really think that I am going to learn a lot from her! Yesterday was my first day and it was also Groundhog Day! We read a lot of fun books about Groundhog Day, made our own shadows, and colored pictures!
One neat thing that my teacher did was she had the students draw names for secret pen pals for the month of February. They are supposed to write caring notes to their pal for the whole month and then at the end everyone will find out who their secret pal was! Today we did a lot of fun Valentine activities. My mentor showed the students how to make different animals out of hearts (like the ones below) and then the students got to create their own to hang up!

The reason I am sharing all of this is so that I can remember these ideas for my classroom! Also, I know a lot of teachers read my blog who are probably always looking for new ideas as well!Sorry I didn't get to post about The Bachelor yesterday! Kristan, Candice, Cait, and I all watched it together Monday and ate HEALTHY spaghetti! Here are my thoughts!
Gia: I like her but I just do not think she is right for Jake. I think her hometown date will be interesting!
Vienna: Okay...why is she still there?! I do not like her!!! My mom thinks the last two will be between Ali and her.....that's why they are playing up the drama between them two. I don't know though! I thought it was hilarious when she was walking around the castle with that lamp acting like she was scared- didn't she know the camera crew was right behind her!!!!
Ali: I still like Ali....not as much as Tenley though! I thought it was hilarious how she jumped in the ocean with her boots on!Corrie: I really liked Corrie...especially after what she told him. However, I thought their date was really awkward (boat ride). I think if she would of opened up more from the beginning it would of been better.
Tenley: She is my fav still! I hope she wins! Can't wait for hometown dates next week! :)
Thoughts?? Hope your having a good week!

What cute ideas for your classroom. I love the secret pen pals ideas. I think it is fabulous and a great way to add classroom community. Thanks for sharing! :)
So glad your day went well. The pen pal thing is a cute idea, and so was the heart shaped animals! I agree on the Bachelor drama!
So glad to hear that it has gone well so far. We start observing on Tuesday for our class. I am excited, I got placed in 1st grade. I love the pen pal idea. I know I will be posting lots of ideas on my blog too so I will remember them.
baha i love how you posted a picture of vienna sausages :)
So glad you like your mentor!! And I completely agree on the bachelor stuff. I really don't think he'll end up staying with any of them!
Thank you!! Vienna being scared when the camera crew was behind her. That is exactly what I said when she was walking through that cave. Also, Ali...never could I jump in the ocean like that with my clothes on, much less with boots on!! Glad you are enjoying your internship!!
Glad your field experience went well!! My favorite used to be Ali but now I like Tenley and Corrie the best!
YEAH!!! 1st grade is good to you : ) Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I thought of the Vienna sausages too. I saw on TV she was posing in "minimal" clothes. Not very classy. And her Hair...hello, not thinking it is that blonde, hhhhmmmm.
Have a good weekend!!
As a first year teacher/slp I have a mentor and she is wonderful. Don't they make the biggest difference?
So funny that you have a can of Vienna sausages for Vienna's picture, muahahah!
I'm so glad you like your field placement! I love Valentines Day with the kids...plus the parties are always full of good junk food!
Sort of randomly came across your blog and I love it! So cute. and I love your header thing. I am an education major also, doing my student teaching in a kindergarten class.. SO much fun. Those heart animals are soo cute my students would looove that. Hope your field experience goes well :)
