The Quest of Teaching Begins…..
Student teaching is upon me and I feel a bit of anxiety with a sprinkle of excitement building. My co-operating teacher is very excited about having a student teacher in her classroom which is encouraging to me. I also am familiar with this teacher as I have worked with her previously through my first clinical. She has a wonderful classroom this year with only 15 students and she has mentioned to me that they all enjoy being in school and learning. This is another high point of encouragement. I can break myself in slowly and make sure that I refine everything I have learned through my education program.
I have already met with my supervising teacher and she has given me an update on what her class will be working on for the second semester. I will be meeting with her again when school resumes to go over last minute details before I officially start. I still have to schedule a meeting with my college teaching supervisor and my co-operating teacher to go over expectations of student teaching.
I have my schedule book all set for teaching, lesson plan ideas in my head for the semester and a good support team at the school that I will be teaching at. I hope the nerves will subside shortly thereafter.

Sounds like everything is falling in to place rather nicely. Your going to do great and those 15 kids will be lucky to have you in their class.
