Internship/Student Teaching

Today is a good day! I finally heard from one of the schools I will be doing my internship and student teaching at! At UTA you do part of your internship and student teaching in your lower grades and the other half in your upper grades. So, for me that means I will do my first half in a 6th grade Language Arts/Reading class. I talked to my mentor teacher today and she sounds so nice. I think we are going to get along great and I feel I will learn a lot from her. She is going to let me be as involved as I want and work with students on a one on one basis. I'm so excited but nervous. The second half of the fall term I will be at a junior high either 7th or 8th grade. I'm still waiting to hear from them. In the spring semester it will be the same thing. Half will be in the elementary and half in the junior high and I will be in the classroom full time (5days a week) but I will still be with the same grades and teachers. I like this because I will know the students and they will know me. Now, all I have to do is pass this math class and that will finally be behind me and I can move forward and finish my degree! Yay!!!
