Day 1, Week 2

I went to the Y this morning!!! That's right! At 5am, I went swimming, it felt great. Now I'm of course exhausted. 
Today at school my university supervisor stopped by and discussed my student teaching with my cooperating teacher and the school principal. This is not going to be easy. I'm still a little confused. I'm hoping all the bumps will iron themselves out as the days and weeks progress. I do have to teach something for a half hour on January 24 in front of the US. That's going to be intimidating!! 

The kids thus far are great. I get a little bored when I'm just watching my CT. But today I got in front of the kids, instructed them on their writing prompt and then discussed the events that happened Saturday in Arizona. We discussed the 1st and 2nd Amendments in relation to what happened. The freedom of assembly, and the right to bare arms. Then they were to write what they thought about 18 year olds be able to own shotguns/rifles. A few thought they should be able to own them earlier than 18, one student said 5th graders should be able to!! I was surprised how many students thought most 18 year olds were not mature enough to own guns. Anyways, I instructed them during that time. 

I'm watching the DUCKS game, and soon going to go to bed, before it ends! So GO DUCKS!!
