This is my week or next two weeks. To start off I am taking the Praxis exam on Saturday. For those of you who don't know it is a pricey little 2 hour test that basically says you are smart or too stupid to be a teacher. So after Saturday we will know if I am smart enough. I can take it again but it is a little pricey to take it too many times. I am not in my program too far to take it but this is the last test that the school is reimbursing the money for it.
Secondly, I am giving my illustrated talk. You ECE majors probably know what this is but it is me reading a book to the preschool and then we do an activity to relate to the book. We are reading the book Silly Sally. I think it will be fine but I don't know why I am freaking out! I love working at a preschool and working with kids but as a class I have a really hard time. Maybe this sounds cinical but I have a hard time with the preschool teachers because professionals are WAY particular on how to talk to the kids and every little thing on managing the kids. I do a really good job but being judged on every little thing I say seems really weird because talking to little kids just comes easily to me...I guess we will see.
Last of all I have my 12 page research paper due just before Thanksgiving break which is actually nice because it was supposed to be due on Monday!!! I have about 2 pages done and most of the research but it is going pretty good just need to put it all on paper now. I used to be so biased against school vouchers being as I would be a public school teacher probably but as I have read more it has made me realize that they can be great but really how much should the government get involved and spend extra money on.
Well that is enough about my crazy life going on just school and work and to have a nice Thanksgiving break coming up!
