Ok so things are pretty crazy and non-stop. Weekends have been non-existent because of weekend groups, reunion, parents visiting and homework. Every week I have at least one new class to teach and still being trained in on a lot more. So lots of prep for those along with homework for my UMD class. This Friday for UMD we're visiting a school to teach in. In will be a whole new game as far as being inside, and it's with kindergartners! Everyday I'm learning new stuff and it's hard to keep it all in my brain. Monday morning we went to look at lichens on these boulders, and it's nice to have some time just to explore and learn for my own benefit. I'm trying to take time each day to just chill out on my own so my brain doesn't explode though.
It was nice to have my mom and dad visit so they could see what the heck I'm doing with my life. Hopefully they were impressed and I think a little jealous too. Obviously their favorite part was Thistle. Although my favorite was watching the beavers while canoeing on Wolf Lake. I want many more visitors and any and all our welcome!
Teaching has been good and is a constant work in progress. Every class is different, every group of kids different, and I'm trying to make my approach different every time to better my teaching. I've taught Voyageur Life twice this past week and it's a crazy class. I get in costume and am character the whole time as a Frenchmen. It's fun, but hard at the same time. I taught geology for the third time today and was also evaluated for the first time (the whole class) so hopefully get some good help from that.
Ok I'm rambling and don't have many good stories because I'm tired. So I will leave it at that and try to make the next post as exciting as possible.
Thanks Chris and Susanna for helping me decorate my room! I love them!
