First day of School

Ok, today wasn't my first day of school, but it WAS my first day of an EDU class. EDU221 to be specific; Intro to Education.  The teacher has explained that basically, his goal this semester is to introduce us to a few different learning styles as well as explore a few statistics of the American school system. He's given us a task of spending 30 hours assisting a teacher in the grade level we most desire to teach. In his syllabus, it looks like his method of teaching is going to be pretty easy to follow. He shows us some media on teaching, articles written from teachers, power points of his compiled data, videos of news stories pertaining to the field, etc.

At first I was real nervous about completing the classroom observation assignment because of my work and  school schedule. Then I remembered, my roommate, Erin, is a teacher and she just so happens to teach the grade I want to teach myself. Could this be any more perfect? Well, maybe, but I don't want anything to make me feel bad about the cards I've been dealt so the answer is definitely NO.

Oh, also, in case any of you where wondering, the grade I want to teach is 3rd grade. The kids really start delving into responsibility and separate class subjects. EXCITING!
