My boyfriend has started this blog thing where instead of blogging about his real like he blogs a fake life making up as much or as little as he wants. I think I want to give it a try. AKA This post is NOT real and the events that happen are NOT true.

Today was the first of many. Today I officially took over my class in student teaching at the local elementary school in my small town. Yep that's right, the local elementary school..the ONLY elementary school in town. This is what happens when you live in a small town. My college decided it would be the best for me to not travel to the city to do my student teaching but rather work at the only elementary in this small town I call home.
See, I am one person who loves my small town. Driving into the city each and every day for classes at the university was more of a pain than a joy, being able to stay in my small town and enjoy life is what I enjoy the most.
Small towns are also great when it comes to classes. I have 15 students in my third grade class. The students are all bright with no issues what so ever. They love to learn, their parents set them up nicely for school and I have all the money I could want to buy supplies for school. We started my work sample this week, the Oregon Trail. Oregon Trail is usually a fourth grade activity but these kids are so advanced my teacher thought it would fit them accordingly. They are loving the unit and having fun traveling over the trail.
Math is the only issue with this class. They want to work faster than the book and it is hard to keep up with their needs and wants. The classroom I work in needs stations for the kids to work at when done and I can't wait to set them up. The other idea is to add music to our transition time to get the kids to transition from one activity to the next just a little quicker. So that's a run down of my first day... we shall see about the next five weeks! Wish me luck!

Interesting approach. I like how your small town class from your hometown is perfect in every way. Is this wishful thinking? Or is your creative subconscious taking a jab at what the apathetic people in the world think your job is like? I wonder what Freud would say about this ...
