Life Lately

Spring Break is here and I will finally have the chance to do something besides sit in a classroom and watch teachers teach. Don't get me wrong, it has been fun, but I am looking forward to some fun that is not centered around school. YAY! That will be tomorrow.


Monday and Tuesday I was in a Spanish classroom at Hudson Middle School. I forgot what that setting was like. Worrying about who was going to sit at your table in the lunchroom and what person of the opposite sex was trying to get your attention. From a teaching standpoint it will be much different. I am excited to teach a lesson to the 8th grade Spanish class and see what it is really like to have to manage my own class for a short time. After my observation we headed home for dinner with the Perrenoud clan and relaxed the night away.


Today, I was observing in Leslie's 1-3 grade class at the Chippewa Valley Montessori school in Eau Claire. That was interesting. Going from 7th and 8th graders to 1-3grade was not as different as I thought it would be. Oh, well. Thats what observing is all about. Seeing what to expect. Now to top it all off, I just finished watching my niece Anne and we are going to have dinner and Idol night with my parents!  Great day so far!
