And so student teaching BEGINS!

Well a summer off was nice, but it really wasn't "time off". Three hours a day at SJSU for credential courses the whole summer put me on track to start my student teaching this academic year. I was placed for the year at....

That's right!  I'll be in Ram Country for the next nine months working in two teachers' English classes.  I'll be getting a variety of observational experiences this semester: writing workshop, Freshman, Juniors, and Seniors.  They have yet to decide what I will be taking over in the second semester.  The only problem is student teaching is the modern-day slave labor, plus I'm taking 15 units at SJSU and teaching dance part-time.  The only other way to make decent money (in my pjs with a cup of cider) is to keep grading papers for LGHS- I'm already on my first batch.  Check back in soon for the best (and the worst) of Willow Glen High.  Go Rams!
