Hey everyone I am back in Memphis to visit my mom. I am really excited to visit with her and be a part of her rehab. I am a little nervous about interacting with her and communicating, but I think I will get used to it. She got moved to a different facility today and they have limited visiting hours which sucks. I am going to talk to them and see if I can get some more time with her since I came out all the way from Cali.
I have been doing a lot of work for school, reading and reading some more. All the things I have been reading are going to be directly applicable to teaching social studies at the high school level. I am just trying to soak in as much information so I can be a better teacher. I think they greatest test will be once I am in the classroom, but learning as much info as possible will help me understand the challenges I will face as a new teacher.
I started observing at Tamalpais High School last week and I think it is going to be a good situation. I have had a lot of work to do for school, but I am going to be more organized to make sure I get plenty of opportunity to observe. Tam is a great school and the student population there is comprised of many high achievers. They are ranked in the top ten high schools in California and almost 70% go away to school. The focus of my credential program has to do with being able to teach in diverse settings, so I think I am getting a different kind of diversity at Tam. I will have students from affluent backgrounds as well as less well to do kids from Marin City. I am interested to see how it all plays out when I get more experience.
I am getting sleepy, it is midnight here, but only 10 in California. Anyways, I guess that is all for now
