Less than four weeks to go...

I've got less than 4 weeks until I'm done student teaching and graduated. I have a TON of homework to do and it's stressful. I have to put together a Teacher Work Sample (TWS), which is a 2-4 week unit with a pre-, post-, and formative assessment plan, aligned with state standards, lesson goals, and lesson objectives. Plus, I still have all my regular duties at the school and other homework assignments to finish. It's scary, because I've only got 4 weeks left, so I've only got one shot to get this TWS right. Two days in and I'm already having to change around lesson plans. Pray we get everything done before Christmas break so I can get my post-assessment in!!!

On a positive note, I'm pretty sure I'll get most of my work done by Christmas break, and then I get 2 weeks off!!! There once was a time when I thought this day would never come, now my student teaching is flying by and it's almost over. I'm looking forward to having more time with my family and friends. I can't wait until I have time to read a book for pleasure. I'm excited about investing more time into my Mary Kay business. And maybe, I'll finally be able to relax.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Welcome to the family Lily

We have a new addition to the Campbell family. Lily is another Springer mix and just as adorable as our Laddie. Lily is trying hard to make friends with her new brother, but, Laddie is still wondering when our house-guest is going to be leaving! I think he'll come around. What's not to love. She's adorable!
