Several students asked me to keep them updated via the blog on my life at MSU. For that reason, this blog will live on for a while!
Here's what I can share so far! First, I will be supervising student teachers at an elementary school in Grand Rapids and I will be teaching a 'teaching literacy' class on campus. The class will be for college juniors/seniors who are planning to be elementary teachers. I am also taking classes on campus ALL DAY on Tuesdays. I'm pretty excited about my classes, one of them is a literacy class focusing on the history of literacy research and instruction. I'll be on campus three days a week this fall.
Am I ready? I don't know, I guess we'll find out soon! I'm working on preparing all my materials for the class I'll be teaching and trying to cram all that *stuff* into my home office has been highly entertaining. All I can say is...God Bless Ikea!
Ikea aside, I'm incredibly touched by my Waukazoo co-workers' generosity. They made sure I was equipped with all the essentials. Check it out!
Even Holly is embracing her Inner Spartan!
Not to worry, Danny...Mrs. Wagner made sure a Michigan item made it into the mix!
I begin my work life on August 16. I'll be working pretty consistently from that point forward until I begin classes the week of August 26. I'll post a few pictures of my first week on campus!
