Career Woman

The first week of school is over! I cannot believe it!

Sorry for the lack of blogging and commenting. I have been super busy this week. Getting up at 5:30 every morning has been hard! I thought I was going to have trouble going to sleep but I have been ready for bed by 9:00 p.m. every night! My legs have been killing me and I also have huge blisters on the back of each heel, ouch! It sure is hard work being a career woman! : ) 

All my kiddos are super sweet and I have learned that first graders are pretty darn funny! We spent the majority of the first week putting away supplies, learning routines, going over procedures, and reading books! This week I just observed/assisted my mentor but next week I will actually start teaching some lessons! My mentor teacher gave me a bag of lifesavers yesterday. She said that I have been a lifesaver this week....I thought that was sweet! 

I'm so glad it's the weekend! Last night me and my girlfriends went out to Ozona's for dinner/drinks. We sat on the patio and just talked. It was so relaxing and was really nice outside. Afterwards, I was ready for bed, ha! Today I'm doing lesson plans. I'm teaching five shared reading lessons next week! Wish me luck!

Hope you have a great weekend! I promise I will be better about blogging this week!
