1st Day of School!

Today was my 1st official day of student teaching. I have been placed at a wonderful school in Indianapolis called New Augusta Public Academy, south campus (or NAPA for short). My CT (cooperating teacher) is Mrs. Tena Plewa. She is a master teacher recognized in the state for her creativity and her skill as a musician in the schools. I look forward to receiving her guidance and encouragement as I pursue my dreams to be a teacher!

As is tradition in my house, I took a "1st day of school" picture.


A few funny moments from today...memories :-)
-I walked into the class and ran into a chair and cut my leg
-Copied more than 100 papers in the first 15 of being "in charge"
-Had a dad introduce himself by saying, "I'm [name] and I'm a bounty hunter."
-Accidentally told 5th graders that Ray Charles was known for playing the trumpet!
-Discovered the old school popcorn machine in the teacher's lounge
-Spilled water down the front of my dress

I think I'm going to love this "job"! The perfect way to get my feet wet!!
