The Big Day
Okay so I never knew what i was actually getting myself into when i decided, way back when I was a little girl, to be a teacher. Today was my first day student teaching and man am I stressed out! Really I shouldn't be because I just observed most of the day and really it was an okay day until the end. So after all the students left me and my mentor teacher were talking about how the next six weeks were going to work and well she informed me that in the third week she wants me to solo as much as possible. Which is teacher talk for Teach On Your Own! In the little student teaching handbook it says the last two weeks i should be soloing not the third! So I called my mom who is also a teacher hoping for some comfort and a comment like, well just let her know you aren't supposed to do that until the last two weeks. Was that what i got? NO! I got, "Well Sara that is great! You want to teach as much as you can. And you CAN NOT tell your mentor teacher you won't do it!" So pretty much to sum things up I'm scared out of my mind to think in two weeks i have to start teaching all alone! I hope I can do it!

I have faith in you and that says a lot because as we discussed the other night, I lack faith in so many things lately.
P.S. I am glad you updated your blog because I still check it almost daily. You're birthday picture was getting old.

Sara you're going to be amazing! We believe in you!
Sara you will do great! I know what you mean though. When you have to be in charge it can be a scary thing. But just don't think about it that way. You are great with little kids and you will do excellent! I know. :)
Sara, I am sure you will be great! You have a way with kids, where they just like you and want to listen to you and be around you. I have seen this with Haylee.
There is nothing to worry about, just remember you are in charge and they are little kids, they really don't know any better!
What is the worst that can happen really?
Just go in there and have fun, don't worry about anything else!
I know you will be great,its in your blood!
