Half way through the semester...

I had 2 mid-terms this week; P&T (Practices and Techniques of Teaching) was my horrendous Monday night exam. Nearly 3 hours of constant writing! That was a tough one! I'm not sure how I did. This professor seems like an easy grader as long as you can show you know a little of what he's talking about. I'm pretty sure I passed it, but by how much? That is the question...

Last night I had my Literacy Development mid-term exam... I thought for sure that would be an easier test because it was multiple choice and OPEN BOOK! Uh, no... it was one of those "choose the answer that is the MOST correct." DOH! I HATE THOSE! Again, I am fairly certain I passed, but I really wanted an A. If I maintain an A in the class, I will not have to take the final.

This afternoon I'm part of a panel of pre-service teachers who are presenting at Stockton on the integration of technology using iPod Touches (which we were all given at the beginning of the semester). We are supposed to be using them and presenting exactly what we're doing with them this afternoon. I've put together my Keynote Presentation and I practiced it a few times. Now, let's see if I crack under the pressure!

Meanwhile, I'm still going to my fieldwork school 2 days a week. I am wrapping up all the projects I need to, but I must admit, I'm falling a bit behind. This week, I've got to step up my lesson plans and analysis of the school's Reading and Math curriculum. My semester ends in May. I will have about a week off, and then I begin my first summer session. Luckily, it's just 1 class to worry about. When that ends, I begin my 2nd summer session with 1 more class. That will run until the end of summer when I begin my fall semester of full-time classes again.

Oh did I mention sometime this summer in between classes and being a full-time Mommy I've got to take my Praxis II?! YIKES!
