It was really nice to find that I felt pretty comfortable being in front of all the different kids (grades ranged from 1st to 8th), and got them pretty involved in it. I think (or like to anyways lol) that most of them enjoyed it and got a little something out of it.
This week is a less manic, but still pretty busy. I like being busy up here and having something to do. I am still doing career stuff with my eight graders, doing a red ribbon class with each of the 7th grade classes (looking at the truth behind alcohol and tobacco advertisements), and feelings lesson with my kindergarten and pre-k classes (using pumpkin faces). The kindergarten class today LOVED it :). Also, I have a few individual students that I am working with one-on-one. Plus, our 'Rainbows' group will be starting up soon (it's a group for children who've experienced grief or loss), so that should help fill my time... and it's an issue I really to explore more with this population since many kids experience this either through separation/divorce, deployment, moving, and death of loved ones.
My running shoes are in, and I LOVE THEM :) no shin splints or leg pains! So I have really been trying to step up my motivation to get out there and get active.
Life is good. Internship is supremely satisfying. School is well, school.
I think it's plain to say...
I'm pretty excited about life :)
