Student Teacher

So, I'm getting a student teacher in two weeks. How exciting?! Well, if I'm blogging about it you know I'm excited! This lady has been a sub at our school as long as I've been there. The kids love her. She's been in school at Brenau for the past few years and is finally ready to do her student teaching. We got an email at school one day and were asked to respond if we were interested in hosting a student teacher. I told our principal I'd like to have her. It's a long story... Other people also wanted her, but our principal placed her with me. I think she will do a great job. Although she is extremely nervous, she will relax once she gets in there. I believe I will become sane again or at least will be able to breathe with her help. If you've heard me talk about my year thus far you know it's been my favorite, but the most challenging-academically speaking (for the students). I believe she can really help me reach these students. It probably will make me more of an advocate of collaborative teachers in the math classroom... hm... ones that really connect I mean... ;)
