I basically have a four-day weekend. I was off on Friday and Monday is Labor Day and no school. Online classes are still available though, so no getting out of that… Tuesday and Wednesday I go back to the lab school I’ve been at for the past two weeks and then on Thursday I go to my second placement. Why a weird schedule? Because the lab school is on a year-round schedule and they have a Fall break coming up for the majority of September. My main concern with the new placement is the fact I need to be there by 7:15 in the morning. As someone who isn’t a morning person, this will be a bit of a struggle for me. It’s bad enough that I get up at 6:30, now I have to do it even earlier. Plus, no Fridays off. But, it’s all a part of the education system! Day to day activities aren’t an issue, but I will have to do a collaborative lesson plan, and that worries me. I don’t know if I need to actually get up in front of a class and teach a lesson, or if I need to meet with a teacher and we come up with a lesson together for them to teach? I don’t know. I’ll ask my supervising librarian about it.
My classes are going pretty well so far, but I’m only in my second week. It hasn’t been easy trying to juggle my hours at the school with keeping up with my classwork, but with a schedule adjustment, it’s been a little easier. I’m concerned about my Seminar class. The instructor seems to be a bit of a martinet (and a humorless one at that) and while the discussion postings in and of themselves haven’t been too bad, for some reason, she wants us to have responses with citations, instead of just posting a response based on our previous experiences and opinions. I just have to try and hang in there for another few months. I may be finished with my Practicum sooner than expected and then I can devote more time to classwork.
I did make a book trailer for a class and I think it turned out pretty well! See for yourself:
I had some help with the program I used. I basically used a premade template and added some words and pictures to it. But, people seemed to like it, so that makes me happy.
My dad and step-mom are coming down in a few weeks. While there’s not gonna be a trip to DC for me, it’ll still be nice to visit. Maybe if I can swing it, I can spend some time with them in the afternoons and evenings while they’re here. Besides, if the weather is going to be like it is now, it’ll be too damn hot to go to DC at this time of year…
