Spring Semester

The first semester in the program is continuing to hold true to its reputation, it is getting very hard to keep up with all that we have to do. I am now working on a digital story for my technology class. I am doing my digital story on Ellis Island, it is supposed to teach about immigrants coming to America. So far I have had a lot of fun working on it, but now I am down to the timing and counting the seconds isn't too much fun. I am also getting ready to go out into the "field". They send us to a local elementary school in the Utah County area. My field partner and I got assigned to a 6th grade classroom. We will spend 3 weeks in the same class and get to teach five lesson plans, which is very exciting because I have never taught a "real" lesson plan when I have actually had training what it should be like. I was VERY excited about getting a 6th grade class because I have been leaning towards teaching the upper grades lately. I hope that I LOVE it, and I am sure I will. Spring break is coming right around the corner and could not get here faster! One digital story and an Educational Psychology test and Vegas here I come!
