Nearing the End...and the Beginning

As I was looking through my planner yesterday, I realized holy cow! We only have 4 more weeks of school and then exams! That means less than 30 more days of being the student. This semester has been an event filled one with homework assignments, projects, and for me, wedding preparations. Even though this semester has been stressful and frustrating at times, I feel like I have gained more understanding and knowledge about actual teaching and what the career will be like. And I have to say, I know I have loved it!

The end of the semester also means the nearing of my wedding!  My mom has been soooo helpful in all of the planning. We haven't had to finish many things during the semester besides some little details. I am so thankful for that because it has taken a lot of pressure off of Corey and I. Right now I am so ready to start the new chapter of my life. We have so many plans that we will soon be able to see play out. It will be really cool to see what happens.

For me the end of this semester means the end of essays, presentations, and exams as we have known it for so long and the beginning of lesson plans, centers, and reading corners among a lot of other things. Not to say that we will not be learning anymore. Our goal as educators will always be to remain lifelong learners.

And I hope our BLOCK family will stay in touch after this semester. We have such a great group of people!

See you all Wednesday!

  2. Heidi. I am sooo happy to have gotten to know you. You an amazing young woman and have soooo much to offer. I am so excited for you and Corey to start your lives together. You have so many beginnings and endings.....mostly new beginnings to look forward to.

    I agree with Imani. We were talking today, in class, about a get-together. I can't believe I won't be seeing everyone on a regular basis after this semester. Bittersweet.
