Hello!!

Hey y'all! Well my fiancee and I have moved to Tennessee because I got a kindergarten job! I haven't blogged in what seems like forever, because of all the new adventures! I started in August, when the school year started and had a whopping 3 days to get my room ready. You could say I was a little overwhelmed! My future in-laws live in this town and they helped me paint the ugly gold bookcases and set up my room. My parents then came down to help set up! I saw Erica's post on how to start on TPT, I thought a lot about it just not sure If I can put in the time! Not to mention the cost of doing it! What do you guys think? Do you sell on TPT or just buy?

Looking

Feeling very overwhelmed! I no longer am looking for my dream grade or school, I am just looking ANYWHERE for a job. Any tips or suggestions are accepted! :)

PHEW! Student teaching is DONE DONE DONE! I can't believe it!!! Tuesday was my last day and it was so sad to say goodbye to those kids! They were very concerned that I was leaving and said I should teach them 3rd grade- they are 2nd graders. Well didn't that just melt my heart!!! They brought in books for my classroom and my supervising teacher made me a shutterfly photo book... tear... tear.... She is the best ever, I couldn't have asked for a better class! They truly helped me become a better teacher.

Listening to college basketball, DUH, best sport ever, and my Fiancee is the biggest college fan ever I pretty sure! Loving my student teaching, going so well! Thinking that I should be planning because I now have complete control of the classroom, YIKES! Wanting a new car because mine is old and really think I deserve a early graduation present! Needing to look for those o so many jobs, ((sarcastic tone)). And my name is Jenna so I love me some bling bling so put jewels, love me some jelly beans, and hate those jumping jacks!! Love to exercise just hate those! :)


Student teaching is going REALLY well! My teacher is really awesome, and I have learned so much from her! We have been working on a unit on the Iditarod and we will be following our mushers along as they progress through the race! These second graders are awesome, I couldn't have asked for a better class!! We are starting a science unit after our spring break, which is next week, we have same as college because we live Bloomington, IN home of the HOOSIERS, which are number one by the way.... ANYWAY as I was saying, we will be planting peas! The kids are so excited! I am also beginning a writing workshop unit on small moments!!

Units

Hey guys!

Getting more things to teach as my student teaching is getting farther along. I have second graders  I am now teaching Science, Math, and 2 big units.  The big units are the Iditarod, which I think I'm going to talk about Alaska also. The other unit is about Global Awareness, the teachers got a grant from our city to buy books and fund a field trip for this one, we got three books If the World Were a Village, A Life Like Mine and Material World: A Global Family Portrait

For the Iditarod unit the second grade team is inviting a speaker from the community who used to be a teacher at this school and did the Iditarod Teacher on the Trail Program. She wrote the book The Double Life of an Alaskan Sled Dog. She is amazing!!  She is coming in to do a presentation,every Tuesday in February and then in our individual classrooms we will also be teaching it.






Do you teach the Iditarod or global awareness in your classroom?? Love to hear!

Wanting: My own classroom! I see all these awesome ideas and blog and TPT products and just PURE AWESOMENESS!! (word?) I want my classroom so I can use all these products and ideas!!! 

Needing: Money to buy all these goodies, the future hubby and I need a car and will be buying a house in May, so my shopping spree will be limited till those very large purchases are made! :) Priorities :)

OWL one little word: Enjoy 
I will enjoy my time with the fiance
I will enjoy being happy 
I will enjoy my OWN life .. no one else 
I will enjoy making my OWN decisions.. no one else can make them for me! 


I struggle with people telling me what to do and not listening to what I want in my own life and what makes ME happy! Live life to the fullest right!? :)  Way to bring in the NEW YEAR!


Happy New Year all! :)

It's the LAW!

ORDER! ORDER in the court (hits gavel). 



So today, I got to do a "mock trail", for all of you saying "what does that mean" well I am in an education law class and today we went to the justice building and mocked an actual trial that happened in real life. The case was about a student that was accused of having prescription drugs in school and the principal basically striped searched her, she is allowed to search her but not to the extend of her having to take of her clothes, ext.  

Any who, now that you got the low down of what the case was about, this got me thinking, if we are allowed to do a mock trail as college students, why not have students, at a much lower level of course, do a simple mock trail. They get to know who is involved in a court case, who the "Baylor" "plaintiff  "jury" all are. HMMM......  :)


Hope your week is going awesome and doing some awesome "fall" "Halloween"  activities! I LOVE fall! :) 

Currently October!
