PPR Test

Well, tomorrow I will be taking my second and final test to become a certified teacher. I have already passed the TExES test which is what you teach (content). Now I am taking the PPR test which is how you teach (pedagogy). I know I will do fine, and I have complete faith in God that he is going to help me through it.

I just cannot believe that this is the last test. I have already payed for my certification, and fingerprinting. Now I just have to pay for my diploma. I keep getting closer and closer to the end of my schooling. I cannot believe it has gone as well as it has and that it is almost over.

God has been with me the entire time, and he has definitely gotten me through it all. After the test tomorrow all I have left is to get my diploma and then I am a certified, real-life, actual TEACHER!

I will let you all know how tomorrow goes. Keep me in your prayers!

Much love,
Kristen

Well, I just got an email from my mentor teacher telling me some of the things that I will be doing the first week of student teaching and I am FREAKING OUT! I feel really overwhelmed and I haven't even started.

Ok...
I think I just need to breathe and get it together...........................

It will all be ok.....
I am going to have so much work to do this weekend. So much for a stress free last weekend :)

Oh My!

Well I just realized that this is my last full week of "regular" college classes. I will be starting student teaching next wednesday and I am getting really nervous and excited. I can imagine myself in the classroom with the students and it all looks good. On the other hand I imagine something horrible happening and I mess something up and look like a complete unintelligent human being. I know it is just the "mean guy" trying to get me down, but sometimes it is hard to ignore it. I just don't want to mess any kids up :)

It is really late for me right now, so I this post is going to be short. I was just wanting to let you know what was on my mind right now.

Love you all ( out there in the cyber world)!

Here it goes!

Well, I have decided to see what all the hype is about and start my own blog. I will be starting student teaching Feb. 4 2009 and thought a blog would be a great place to chronical my 12 weeks in the classroom. I'm super new at all this blog stuff, so you are going to have to have patience with me.

Lets see where this road takes me...
