Welcome to Student Teaching - Fall 2010

Hi everyone…that’s Kellen Benard, Cammie Dunn, Amanda Fischer, Kelsey Gannon, Meghan Jacobs, Laura Kinion, Anabel Muro and Amber Putra,

Welcome to the beginning of your student teaching and we hope, the time of your life!!!!

This is the blog we've told you about, and we will expect you to check in here weekly, let us know how things are going, and watch for specific prompts from us.

Plan on journaling a "week in review" for us each week. I'll get a prompt up here towards the end of the week, and we expect a response from you by Tuesday of the following week.

We know that you arrived safely (we know about everyone except Kellen but we think we would have heard if he wasn’t there), and hope that you are getting settled into the base and setting up your classrooms.

So for this week, the first week in review, please tell us how the transition is going: jet lag, adjustment to the time change, life on base, how your school and classrooms are set up, and your initial thoughts about your mentors. We hope you are sleeping through the night and getting to know your surroundings on base. Maybe this weekend you can do a little exploring of Heidelberg and Bamberg but be sure you are bright eyed and bushy tailed, early to school and ready to begin on Monday!

We will look forward to the first posting from you early next week.

Chris and Heidi
