This is my first blog.

Hi! This is the first time I have ever blogged, and I'm not really sure how to do most of these technology things. I can't wait to learn all about technology and this course. I am also taking two other courses in Special Education.

I graduated this past December for Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Elementary Education. I did my student teaching at River Ridge Elementary School. I taught fifth grade and second great. It was a great experience.

Right now I am teaching at Caywood Elementary School. I am the lead kindergarten teacher in a new program called extended kindergarten. Basically while the kindergarten students are not in their regular kindergarten class they come to me for a second dose of education. I think that this is a great program and I hope that other think so too.

I also work on the weekends as St. Walbergs Infirmary as a nurses assistant. Basically, I help the elderly nuns that can no longer take care of themselves. I feed them, get them ready for the day, and whatever else they may need of me. I love it there, but I am afraid that I am over doing this semester and may have to quit. Only time will tell.

Other than that, I do not have much of a life. Any time that I get off I feel like sleeping or just relaxing. I enjoy relaxing with my friends, family, and boyfriend. I also enjoy reading and playing sports when I have the time.

I can't wait to talk to you all!

  2. You sound like you have a busy life and I am impressed with your work with the nuns that must be rewarding and how interesting for you to work with life at both ends of the continuum. Nice first blog.

  3. I too Am curious how the "extended kindergarten" works. Do the kids go a full or half day? The district where I teach and my kids go are proposing a full day kindergarten and I was just curious on the different formats for kindergarten.
