[.i'll beg you not to leave.]

so it seems that this only gets updated every 2 or so weeks......so, i apologize.

life has been great lately! there's been so much going on! 
hmmm, let's recap the festivities.

i blogged last time about 2 lessons that I was teaching. they both went REALLY REALLY well. my social studies lesson was on creating maps. i have never seen a group of students be so excited about creating a classroom map. when i told them that we were making maps, one of my boys came up to me and said "come here and give me a hug!" are you kidding me?! who wouldn't want to teach when you have students like this?! my professors were both extremely impressed with how well the lessons went. my science lesson on weather went really well! the kids were extremely engaged with the lesson, and we even "made" a thunderstorm. SOOOOOOO much fun!!!!!!! 

Let's see what else?! Oh, i went to my first Colts game at the new stadium! tyler's friends had tickets that they wanted to get rid of for the Colts/Patriots game - so you better believe we grabbed them! Enjoy the pictures....

[such a pretty stadium!!!]

[we all know i can't take a serious picture! haha.]

[okay, maybe i can!]

[ahhh, i love it!]


this week is the start of the end - as weird as that may sound. i teach monday, tuesday, and wednesday this week - ALL day!!! I have created my own lessons and all the activities and what not. i'm really looking forward to doing what i want in my class. it's going to give me a good understanding of all that i need to work on when it comes to my teaching. 

after wednesday, it's all pretty much downhill for me. i only have 3 more projects to complete. it's so crazy to think about how fast this semester has gone by! it seems like just yesterday i was moving down to indy both scared and excited out of my mind about this experience! i just looked at my calendar and just realized i only have 10 more days left in my classroom. WOW!!!! i'm going to miss these kids so much!!!

alright, it's probably time for me to get outta here for now...
i'll try and post before 2 weeks is up, but i make no guarantees! :)

keep your fingers crossed about my teaching this week! :)
love you all.
caitlin.
