Mrs. K-Ballz returns to Brighton

It's weird, at times I felt like this summer was moving way too slowly, but looking back on it, it went too fast! Wasn't I supposed to learn Spanish and re-learn chemistry? Oops...

I had my first meeting with my cooperating teacher last week. Those of you that were at Overland Trail last year met him- he's a really cool teacher. He already seems like an awesome mentor- providing me with all kinds of resources and opportunities (although he already has me nervous about meeting parents on back to school night!). He just got all this training on working with ELL's, which is awesome- that's his big priority this semester- turning around his teaching style to reach them better. Sometimes our program feels so theoretical/fluffy that it will be nice to finally get out and teach- ya know what I mean?  

Teacher prep week in 27-J starts Monday. Is it sad that I'm excited to decorate the classroom any way I want? Gus told me to wear shorts and flip flops. No one tell Kanesha, K?  :-)
