Educating Esme.

I stayed up late reading a book for fun. I can't remember the last time I actually did that. It was called Educating Esme and it basically made me really excited about teaching.

Esme was crazy; during her first year of teaching, she roller-skated down the hallway, made a time-travel reading nook, organized an American Girl book club, and wouldn't let the principal walk all over her. She is my new role-model.

That book sounds really interesting! I will have to read it sometime. How are you feeling about student teaching?

I'm a little bit anxious/nervous, but mostly really really excited!! I wish I had been able to meet my host teacher before I came home, but oh well. I have 4th grade, which I think I'll enjoy.

Yeah, I think I wished that same thing! I know you will be great with 4th grade. I love the books they get to read at that age!
