Day 2 of School

Today was a little better than yesterday, even though I only got 3 hours of sleep. Jet lag still has me trapped. I got to school at 7:30. Students start at 8 a.m. A class came to the library during the first 15 minutes of school to turn in and check out books. Later in the morning, the Sure Start (pre-kindergarten) came to learn about the letter k. They come once a week to learn about a new letter. Those kids were so adorable! I wish classes came to the library more often...

Later in the morning, I went to a meeting about an assessment that is about to be implemented. At the meeting was the teacher in charge of the assessment--she's the gifted and talented teacher, the librarian, a fourth grade teacher, and the principal. It was enjoyable little meeting, and we got to eat this pumpkin bread thing with cream cheese icing. It was delicious and helped hold me over until lunch.

After the meeting we went back to the library and my supervising teacher talked my ear off. I was so tired and felt like I could fall asleep standing up. Finally I could go eat lunch. It was about 12:15. Can you tell I have really long, boring mornings?

I ate lunch with some fun teachers who are always there at the same time. My student teacher friend, Liz, was there too. We had a fun lunch and fun conversation. It was a full table in there!
After lunch, I went back to the library and sat around. I read through a binder with policies and stuff in it. I could barely keep my eyes open. A few students came in to work on a power point project. I had nothing to do with them. My teacher did it all.

A class came in for the last 15 minutes of the day. Students leave around 2:15 or so. I was there until 3:00 trying to stay awake while reading through that ginormous binder. Made the five-minute walk home and sat around for a while. I was so tired.

I worked on some student teaching things. Then we all met up to work on a student teaching assignment and to plan our weekend. Five of us are planning to go to Munich for the weekend. We'll be visiting Munich, Salzburg, and the concentration camp Dachau. Tomorrow we're going to buy the train ticket. On the weekends in Germany, they have a special train ticket that is good for five people and you can travel on any trains in the country. Hope we get it worked out! I'm majorly looking forward to the weekend!! I also can't wait to be at the high school!!
