Today started off great. I had the most wonderful cup of coffee, seems small but is amazing when you have 5 minutes to enjoy great coffee before 25 kids come into the classroom. This morning when I just arrived at school, where I'm a student-teacher doing my internship, I went into the office and it was the nicest thing to see --- a guy I went to high school was in for the vice-principal, another girl I know from the education program this year came in and a supply who finished her ed degree last year was there. It was just a warm nice feeling I got from seeing all of us young people in there starting our careers and some taking off. It was re-assuring a well because of course I am worried about getting a job when I'm finished.
Today I also had my 1st formal teaching evaluation done by my professor and I was so nervous that I could feel myself overheating, but it went GREAT! The Math lesson I taught was done well, the students understood and behaved well and I was told how much he enjoyed watching me teach AND that he thinks that I was under the radar during this last school year (which is prob true, I did well but not exceptionally well and I didn't stand out for any reason) and that he was impressed!!! YAY for me!

That would be so nice to hear.. that he enjoyed watching you teach. You'll be a great teacher.
