Okay, we have two more weeks in these classes and the due dates keep looming closer and closer!
My first draft of my literature review is done! Now all I need is for Stephanie (My special buddy!) to proofread, revise it, and publish it! Now to turn my attention to everything else that is due!
Our iMovie is almost done! All we have to add is the music over a couple of slides and upload it to wherever it is supposed to go! It is nice to think that one of my assignments can be checked off soon. The next two days in Tech class are workdays, so, hopefully, I can check off a lot more things for classes! I know what I want to do for most of the assignments, I just have to get in gear and get them done!
One thing that I am LOVING about CADRE is the emphasis that the work is for US to learn and use in the classroom. It is not just to show the instructors that we can do something. That is something that had been missing in my undergraduate classes. I also like the applicability of everything that we are learning. Everyone says that you go to school for 4 years, get your degree, and learn to be a teacher in the first two weeks before school starts. I feel that I am actually learning to be a teacher here. It is relieving some (definitely not all, but some) of the anxiety I have been feeling about actually teaching this year.
I did not think that I was as prepared for student teaching as I would have liked to have been. Being here this summer is opening my eyes up to what I CAN do in my classroom and making me feel better myself. I hope that this continues to happen!
