T minus13
The countdown is on. I have only a few more precious summer days to enjoy. Yesterday was beach day - a wonderfully hot, sunny day. *sigh* I'll miss those...
I just got an email from my student teacher who is in her first year of her B.ed. And boy, do I feel old! She's 22 (a few years younger than me...). All the student teachers I have had have been much older. It's their second career. Not her - she's 22. This will be interesting.She informed me that she was part of the last graduating class of OAC. Has time really flown by that quickly??
I'll be starting to go in these next few days to get organized, caught up, and hopefully ready for that first day of school. Do you remember how you felt on your first days of school? That sickening, deep in your stomach, heavy feeling? Yeah, I still get that. Every year. You'd think I'd be over it by now. The '06 / '07 year marks my 9th year of teaching. Strange - I still feel like I'm new.

22, eh? I was in my first year of university, and not quite 18 when I did my first student teaching "gig" way back when (4 year degree program at the time). Maybe I was just too young to be successful in the program....
Regardless, good luck with your new teaching year, and the student teacher :)
Holy crap! 18!! I was 24. They would've eaten me alive at 18.
Granted, I was doing elementary stream, but still. I was young.
