Finished!

I finished my portfolio tonight! Tomorrow, I am going to sit down and seriously edit it, also making sure that all of my links work!

I want to spend the next three weeks (before we go back to work) creating as much as I can for my internship. I still have a few things to talk to my principal about, but everything looks really positive so far. On another note, I really cannot wait to get into my new classroom so that I can set everything up!

I will be honest that I am dreading the last class of the program but only because I do not need to graduate this program in order to get a pay increase. Selfishly and pridefully, I want that extra piece of paper on the wall in my office! The books that we are going to read look fairly interesting though.

Here's to three more productive weeks! Stay tuned for internship updates!

Going Slowly

I feel like I am slowing down recently. Taking a class mid-summer has caused my work to go on a bit of a hiatus because the class is an intensive two-week course. I am working on the third section of my pre-internship portfolio, but it is slow going.

I still have not heard back from my supervisor about my internship proposal. I'm hoping that everything is okay, but I am afraid to ask. I emailed my principal about presenting on the online planbook the first week of teacher training, and I am sure he will be elated about it. Since we are not using a gradebook program that he will have to pay for, he will most likely be willing to pay for the planbook for those who wish to use it.

I am excited to finish this class so that I have a month to focus on finishing the portfolio, developing various resources for the internship, and reflecting prior to a new school year. I know that the year will be extremely busy, so I am looking forward to a month off to prepare myself. Here's to finishing the portfolio in the next two weeks!
