finals/ teaching

Hi!

to all you high school kids, finals week will be a toss up. I have no finals at all during finals week!! I just have a bunch of projects and a take home final. I dont have any lab sciences and I dont have a math class right now, and most of my classes are ones where testing isnt really a proper way to evaluate the information Ive retained..(like education class, art etc). I do have a ton of projects going on right now though.

But finals week really is a toss up. You can be lucky like me and have none, or you can end up having 5 or more. It really depends on your classes and your major. A friend of mine has her chem, bio, and french finals with fifteen or twenty minute breaks in between. So, as you can see, experiences vary a lot.

did I already talk about my education fieldwork yet? I dont think so. So, for my education class we do fieldwork in the school system in Old Orchard Beach. (if youre not familiar with the area, old orchard beach is two towns over.) I spent about 8 weeks in a middle school art classroom helping out, observing, working with the kids etc. I had a blast, i miss it already. The kids and i grew really close- I just loved them! I shadowed an amazing teacher. Her classroom is amazing, even the ceiling is decorated! For my goodbye, the kids made me a card, and Mrs. Bolduc (the amazing teacher) bought me a really nice journal and a set of 36 prismacolors...AND she bought a good luck cake for the class. It was such a great day, i wont ever forget that experience:)
