This past week has been quite a whirlwind of activity, both in my internship and my personal life. My afternoons with Jean in the classroom have been going great, although I will say sometimes I question my sanity as I try to work and attend internship, but then the bills arrive and suddenly my sanity takes a backseat. LOL Anyway, it's definitely taking some time to adjust the varying schedule, but I am making it through and my afternoons spent at Chugach have all been enjoyable and I learn more and more each day about the children, families, and Jean's teaching strategies. One of the major highlights of the week, was on Thursday, because Jean took the afternoon off in order to attend a science course and so it was myself and a visiting teacher, whose children attend the school AND was a teacher aide in Jean's class a few years ago, and together we moved the class through the normal afternoon routine and overall they did quite well. :) Lately, I have been taking over the calendar time portion of the day with Jean adding activities as needed to the regular routine that I've been leading. The days of the week song has already begun to keep me up at night. hahaha. :) Overall, it was a good week and I am curious to see how the children will respond next week, when we have a full five days of school, because this Friday is an early release which means they have yet to experience a full, five day week of school.
