This week was a great week at Summerville. No one taught a lesson in my classroom so it was so nice to just be able to observe after teaching two lessons so that I could learn even more for my third and final lesson. The kids were great! Virginia taught her lesson earlier in the week so it was just me in the classroom which was so nice to be able to have the kids all to myself and they were so excited to see me. I got to watch Mrs. Young teach the writing lesson and the math lesson that I will be teaching this week and it was so great to be able to see everything that I will be teaching this week. Overall, it was a very relaxed and fun day and I loved being able to participate in all of the activities with the children.
I loved class this week. I though the woman that spoke for us about parent education programs was so informative and wonderful and to be honest I had no idea that these kinds of programs existed as a resource for new parents. What a wonderful thing that they do and it is definitely something that I want to be a part of later in life. I think it is such a great thing for parents to have as well as for the children. It is so difficult to be a parent and also prepare your child for school and I think this program is so wonderful in that it helps parents know what is developmentally appropriate for their children and what kind of activities and things they can work on while they are at home.

Betsy, I agree! What amazing and resourceful programs! It is a program that really impacts the lives of children and their families. It is sad that education and programs like these suffer when the economy is not doing well and are not always top priorities when the economy is lucrative. I wish the politicians who determine "what is important" would all be required to spend some time in school system. What an eye opening experience they would have!
