When life gives you lemons...

Today was going to be like any other "normal" day... That was until my sponsor teacher called out sick. I got a text from her saying that she was ill and was not going to make it into class. Naturally I played it cool, but inside my head I was panicked! Today was only my second day of teaching a lesson by myself and this time I would literally be by myself (well and the sub). So today, for the first time ever, I had responsibility of the class for the entire day! I am pleased to say that the kids responded great to me! We were so productive and stayed on task all day. In retrospect in was much needed affirmation that I am choosing the right career.

Besides it being freezing today... It was an awesome day!

Also, I finally finished my bookshelf and it is already almost filled up. I received a ton of free books today and I am SO grateful. Now it's time to write more lesson plans and find activities for my small group instruction.
