On November 7th, I went to the Air Force vs. Army football game. It was a beautiful day and Air Force won big. What was even cooler were the flyovers and parachutists before the game. Lots of people were able to come - Jake and I, Caroline and Matt, Andrew and Kara, Mom and Dad, Mary and Jessica.
Then, on Sunday, the girls all went out to see the play Wicked! It was really great. I hadn't read the book, so I didn't have a lot of background knowledge going into it, but it was still fairly easy to follow. The costumes, sets, and musics was amazing as well. (Thanks Mom for taking us!)
Okay, school stuff. I got my student teaching placement for next semester!! I'm going to be teaching 4th grade at Timnath Elementary. It is another small town just south of Fort Collins. The school itself is a little bigger than Galeton, however, the town is probably about the same size. Earlier today, I met with my cooperating teacher and she seems really nice. She has a lot of experience, 21 years, so I'm sure I'll learn a lot from her. Hopefully by the end of the semester, I'll be ready to take on my very own classroom!! It'll be interesting to see the difference between 2nd grade and 4th grade and how much kids change in just two years. I love my second graders though. I'll miss them.
Last weekend, I went down to get my new computer!! (Thanks Dad!) But I also got to go to the Air Force basketball games at the Air Force Academy. It was tournament weekend. Friday night, they played Dickinson State and won, so they moved on to play the winner of the other game. So, they ended up playing UNC on Saturday night. That game wasn't so good for Air Force...they got killed. But at least my school played well. Finally, we have a good sports team!! Even so, I found myself not being able to cheer against my Air Force boys and was sad when Air Force lost.
Looking forward to Thanksgiving break and then I only have 2 more weeks left in the semester!!
I enjoyed your updates!
