2 1/2 weeks left = 10 classes

It's hard to believe that I have only 2 1/2 weeks left of student teaching. That means there are only
3 1/2 weeks left until the end of school. The light at the end of the tunnel is a lot brighter then it used to be 4 years ago. Even when I get my degree, my educational journey will still last another 2 years as I progress through my master's program in special education.

I won't be completely done with yearbook staff, I will see this group until the end of the year. I told them, when they asked me, I had started the book with them and I was going to see this book through to the end. That now means we with the block schedule we only have 10 class periods left to finish the book. There is still a lot of work to do, and I'm starting to feel the pressure mounting.

I printed off some of the pages and gave it to my cooperating teacher to have her look at them, I've looked at them and now they needed a fresh pair of eyes. It was a good thing, she gave them back with a number of corrections that need to be made. The pages were handed back and I had a number of unhappy campers. They thought they were done with the pages and were not enthused about making the corrections. I turned on the soothing voice and explained to them that we needed to put out the best book possible, so that they could look back at this book in 20 years and be proud of what they had put together.

I am very proud of them all, even though they were not happy about the corrections, they got right to work and made the corrections. We still have enough work to do but I think it will get done on time if we can keep up this work ethic. I guess we will see!!!
