Update from Michigan

Hi from Michigan!

I’m at my Aunt’s school now and I’m enjoying it so much, I’m helping/teaching her kindergartens how to read and write. I think it’s pretty sweet how I have this chance to be in the classroom since I’m doing Education at MUN whenever I can. Sometimes you hear about people doing Education in university and then dropping out after they do their teacher internship, so now I know that I actually enjoy it!

Today one little girl named Marli wrote me a “story” and this is how it went:

“I really like when Maryellen comes to class. I really like her and she likes me too”

Whenever we go anywhere in the school kids are running up to me wanting me to hold their hand, walk beside them, sit by them in their “special spot” or whatever, I guess it’s good to know that the kids like me when it’s something I want to do for the rest of my life as a career.

Anyways, Michigan is going well.
Today it’s a little rainy but still warm.

The first day I was here we bought a pizza and went out for a picnic to the park, and then went for a walk and I let some birds eat out of my hands, haha it was cute.

So I hear it’s 3 degrees at home today!
It’s 18 here today, and it was even warmer yesterday, people here are even complaining a bit about how chilly it is! baha

Anyways, I’m really enjoying it here :)

Grad and Michigan and such

Yikes, so the grad is in like what, 3 days?

That’s crazy.

I’m graduating high school :|

I’m finding that I’m looking forward to the weekend more and more as it gets closer, maybe it’s because I’m leaving for Michigan on Monday morning though :P

I’ll have my first experience in a limo this Saturday, I’m looking forward to that. We’re pretty lucky we lucked into being able to get one. We actually only called about it about 8 weeks ago or so and someone wanted to cancel that timeslot so we just took it instead. Apparently those people booked it for that time months ago! Haha

Like I said, Michigan again on Monday morning :)

I’ll be missing 4 days of school which is too bad because I hate missing class/getting behind but can’t really do much about that…

I’ll be helping out my Aunt with her Kindergarten kids again for a few days until their Easter break starts, I did the same thing last Christmas and loved it and I thought me having the classroom experience was pretty sweet since I’m doing primary/elementary education at MUN. I was speaking to the principal about it and he said it was definitly worth missing a few days of school for. I mentioned that I’m going to be doing education in MUN and he told me that he could really see me being a great primary/elementary teacher and if I ever need a reference for a teaching job I could come to him!

I think we’re getting report cards again tomorrow.

Meh, I’ll be fine I think. I think I’ve gone up in everything so that’s always good I guess.

I never really have anything to say on this..

I have a math quiz tomorrow though, and I should be studying for it.

Later!
