Why Yes, I am a SENIOR!

Fall Semester came and went and it happened rather quickly and I am already in the midst of Spring Semester, or should I say my last semester of college. I guess you could say, we started the semester off right by having our annual Campout for NCSU/Carolina basketball tickets. It was rather cold and I can check off "sleep in Talley" from my list of to-dos for my college career. Even though it was freezing, it was nice to be able to spend time with some awesome people after a few weeks apart for Christmas. Since classes have started I've been going non-stop. My teacher internship semester has been crazy, and I'm only two weeks in.

This semester I will be Student Teaching at Knightdale High School alongside Mrs. Melinda Mouzzon. My friend, Jodi, is also at Knightdale, so it's great seeing a familiar face when we are there. I will be teaching 2 classes of Algebra I and one AP Stats class! Yikes. I'm super excited though. I already love my cooperating teacher and the other teachers in the Math Department at Knightdale. I don't officially start teaching until February 26th. Until then I am taking my Senior Block Methods Courses. I am learning a lot about teaching and managing a classroom. I am also learning a lot of different math, teacher's math, as we call it. It's been rather interesting. I think some of the stuff we are learning is just to help us realize that our students are not going to always understand our number system and the math we are discussing, so as teachers we must know multiple ways to help our students understand math.

Overall I am really excited what the Lord is going to do this semester during my time as a teacher. I know it's going to be a hard semester but I also know I'm going to learn a lot about teaching, the real world, and myself.

I will try and continue to update my blog a bit more, the goal is once a week, with happenings at Knightdale HS, at NCSU, and some photography I'm doing. Oh yea, did I mention I'll be 22 next week! YIKES! :D
