Just finished taking my GACE exam to be certified for teaching (ahhhh! crazy thought) and it sure was a huge relief (thanks again, Vic and Chu!). I've made my peace with it and I'm going to be so content even if it turns out that I may have to retake it. Haha.
I used this summer to prepare a bit of things for when I start student teaching. Made a few binders full of resources, one to keep my lesson plans, and another one for my day to day things. Yes, I really don't know what to expect, but the closer I get to it, I do find myself squealing from time to time because I'm so excited. I used to never be excited though 'cause it scared me ... doing more than just the required observation hours and actually playing a huge part in the students' learning, yes, that scares me, but in a good way. Truthfully, it's just the lesson planning and workload that makes me nervous about the whole thing.
I emailed my mentor teacher today telling her how I was thrilled to be meeting with her very soon now. She seems so so sweet and I've heard good things, so yes, containing the excitement and embracing the last of my summer days.
Speaking of summer, I have approximately two weeks before pre-planning starts. I'll be gone to HLUB or a week, so pretty much one week. I don't know how the summer flew by so fast, but I can only imagine the semester flying by just as quickly.
Craziness, I tell ya.
