An Apple a Day

I LOVE student teaching! Its so super fun fun fun! My cooperating teacher is hilarious and is so sarcastically mean to all her kids! I love it. Every day for lunch, we just cook whatever we want! Yesterday for fun, we made stuffed mushrooms and grilled chicken for the two of us, and today we made raisin bread french toast and homemade cream cheese, just because we had stuff in the fridge and we felt like it! And then I bring the leftovers from the catering class down to my 2 student teaching friends in the teacher's lounge!

So I take over one class at a time, starting on Monday. I'll start with Foods I, then add Foods II, then Adult Roles/Financial Literacy. I'm going to be writing so many lesson plans and doing bulletin boards and spending my every spare minute on my Teacher Work Sample, yuck! They tell us to be prepared to have to turn down all weekend dates and evening plans b/c we'll need to be so engrossed in this work. Meh, I think I can handle it.

Highlights of the week: I teased this cute senior boy about his name being written on the walls in the girls bathroom :). And then this one group made a pineapple cake for their "Hawaiin" meal, and kept asking us if we liked it--on his way out, a boy whispered to me, "We put real rum in that cake"! Ha ha ha I love it.
