My first week of student teaching was, lets just say, ATYPICAL. My first day my teacher had to leave to help evacuate her sister from Lake Jackson. So I got to Experience TEACHING right off the bat and learn that the key to teaching is..always expect the unexpected. The day went great! I enjoyed meeting the students and finding my way around. I learned what is good and bad to eat in the school cafeteria. I learned that I need to invest in more comfortable shoes!
My second day was a little calmer, but not much. You see, those of you not on the Gulf Coast may not know this, but, um, we have a little HURRICANE named Ike headed straight for us. So we were already assuming we probably would not have school today. Students can sense this a mile away--by 8:00 a.m. they were already asking if the school was getting out early. No such luck, but they did cancel today as expected. Since landfall is not expected until overnight, today is actually a pretty nice day in Houston. My younger son and I just ventured out to see what was still open. The grocery store seems to be the most popular place to be--and we did find McDonalds still open (of course). The husband and other son went off to the gym; also still open. Most everything expected to be shut down tonight, so have to get out while we can.
That's all for now!
