It is so nice to have days off - especially when I am starting to teach my first subject tomorrow. :) I have been getting ready for everything that my class will be doing. I'm a little nervous but slowly feeling like they are my class too. At first I didn't really want to say anything to them just because I felt like I was just a visitor but I'm getting more and more comfortable in that area.
Tomorrow I start my first subject, writing. I actually like writing, well not really, it's hard to explain. Anyways... my class will be working on persuasive writing. I have what is hopefully something fun for them to do. I am used to kindergarten so I am very used to breaking things down to make something as simple and easy for the students. I plan on continuing to do that with 3rd grade. Even though they do not need things broken down so much any more I kinda feel like if I break it down a few times they will grasp the concept easier and not have as many problems down the road.
So far I have enjoyed 3rd grade. I definitely miss kindergarten, but this is excatly what student teaching is supposed to help me with right? Kinda figure out things and learn to teach different subjects and age groups. I definitley miss my kindergarten class. My last day my teacher bought a cookie cake for me and had the students sign their names to signs she made. It was so sweet and at the end of the day when they all ran up to me to give me a hug I almost cried. :)
Exercise/Nutrition Goals
I finally came up with a training goal and weight loss goal for the month of January. lol Better late than never right? My training goal is to be able to do 15 male push-ups by January 31st. As of today i can do 11... and it is tough. My weight loss goal for the month is to lose 8 to 10 pounds. I've lost five so I think that is a reasonable goal... we will see. My goal for this week is to, hmmm, no soft drinks. I've had I think 3 diet cokes lately and I'm going to have to nip that real quick. I also have a goal to do better on the weekends. A friend of mine told me that she has always been interested in exercise and was doing good with nutrition except on the weekends and she realized that she was ruining all of her hard work from the week. That one is going to be exteremely tough for me but I will do my best to work it out.
Oh, on pinterest I found this 14 day Abs challenge. I'm going to start it tonight and see what I think, or if I see any results.... If I notice any changes I will relay the challenge to you.
Me
A huge part of my personality is music. It is probably corny to say but music helps me get through some really tough tough parts of life. I think music is one reason I love the show One Tree Hill so much. They have great music. Anyways, as you know I have had some drama in my life really since this summer and as much as I want to let it go and move on it is hard for me to do that. Its not settled and I'm going to have to face the fact that it never will be. I think it's finally closed but not settled. Anyways, this Sunday at church we sang a new song called From the Inside Out, by Hillsong United. Just listening to the words ( I couldn't sing it...because it made me cry) made me feel like God was just telling me that although I do not understand why everything has happened the way it has, and that some things come and go, or some things may fade away that He is never changing. He is always there. I felt like He wasn't trying to tell me that everything happens for a reason and He had a plan (which I know He does but its just not the time to hear that right now) He was just trying to tell me that He has my back. And it just made me love Him so much. Anyways, I'm going to try to put a youtube of the song and lyrics up but forgive me if it doesn't work.
