First official day of student teaching!
Yay student teaching!!


Hello everybody!! Here we done with the first week, going into the second! It was a great first week. I am getting more involved in the classroom everyday. Thursday my mentor teacher, Kathi, had me do the teacher read aloud after the kids got back from lunch. I was pretty nervous but it went good. And Thursday after school Kathi and I sat down and planned next week math, which I am teaching!! I am really excited and nervous. Everyday I am learning new things and growing as a teacher.

This weekend we got the chance to go to Munich to see an old friend. Alex came to Arizona my senior year of high school as a foreign exchange student. We became friends but sadly lost touch after she left. We found each other via facebook and started to talk again. She found out I was going to Germany and invited us to come for the weekend. It was so good to see her. She took us out Friday night, which was super fun! Then Saturday we slept in and she took us to old Munich, which is the center of Munich. There is the shopping district with all types of stores. It was cool to just walk around and enjoy Germany.

One thing that I am not liking so much about Germany is the smoking. When we were in Germany we found out really fast that EVERYBODY smokes. Literally everybody. So when we went out Friday there were people smoking and then again Saturday. So I got a little sick yesterday ust from being around smoke so much. It is just very common for people to smoke all the time. So next time I am going to try and see if there is something I can take to help me not get so sick. Other then that I am LOVING Germany. The people are friendly and there is just so much to do.

We are looking a plane tickets for Paris, which is in two weeks!! I am very excited! We are also looking into going to Amsterdam some time soon as well.

I miss everyone back home. And am praying for all of you! Hope everyone is doing great!! Love you all!!!
