Mid Semester Blog

The semester is half way through and I have no idea where the time went. I have been so incredibly busy. I am just taking week by week and trying to keep my head above water.
I have learned a great deal so far in Quest 2. I will say my time management skill have improved greatly. I did not really have a choice but to improve or I would not have been able to keep up with this semester. I also have learned a great deal from my SBTE. I went into this program having my mind set on teaching Kindergarten, but I really enjoyed Fourth grade the past six weeks. I am actually quite surprise how much I like the Fourth grade level. I am really happy that I chose to do to different grade levels. I feel like I am getting the best of both worlds.

The biggest challenge for me the past six weeks has been dealing with my mom getting sick. my mother went into the hospital and ICU for two weeks. It was a very difficult time for myself and my family. I have been trying to keep up with school, but also taking care of my family. i have been alble to focus more on school recently because my mm is now out of the hospital and back at home. I finally got mysef all caught up (thanks to reflection week).

My goals for the rest of the semester are to get the most out of the last six weeks that I am with the kindergarteners. I also want to help nurse my mom back to health.
