Catholic School's Week

Today was the start of a crazy week at St. Joe's. It's Catholic School's Week! This is a country wide week celebration of choosing a Catholic School as your choice of education. To a public school this is equivalent to a school pride or homecoming week. The week is packed full (no exaggeration) of exciting activities for the students. We have a magician, bingo, crazy hair day, pajama day, and much much more. Not only are the students beyond excited, the teachers are as well.

To begin the week we had an exciting visit from the Bishop. There was a lot of preparation leading up to this visit and today everything finally came together. After everyone returned to their classroom from mass we waited for the Bishop to come do the class visit. Last week as a class the students brainstormed a list of questions they had to ask the bishop. We then narrowed down the list to "what we really wanted to know". This really helped when the Bishop visited today because the students asked previously agreed upon questions. It was great seeing how excited they all were. They could barely stay in their seats.

As far as student teaching goes, this week I added Spelling and Phonics unto my teaching workload. I love the feeling of teaching more and being in front of a class of students.

Lastly, today I hit 500 views on my blog! Thank you to everyone that has been reading and joining in my journey!
