Be Prepared!

Student teaching is all about preparation and this last week or two I have been preparing in many different ways. On Sunday I met my parents at the Outlet Mall for some teacher clothes shopping. Note to all the youth out there, you DO NOT need 50 T-shirts! Eventually one day you will get a real job and have to wear dress shirts and dress pants everyday. This being said I am donating all but about 14 shirts to the Haiti relief effort at Carthage sponsored by Tau Sigma Chi (February 3rd 7pm in the TWC). Preparing for a full day of teaching is something I have only done a few times, usually I will go to the school for one or two hours then head home. This means preparing a lunch in the morning which I am not ashamed to say my wonderful mother did for me throughout my educational career. And when I brought lunch to high school it was Lunch #1 and Lunch #2 (one for after morning swim practice and one during the lunch period). Now that I am not training for swimming anymore I will only need to make one. I also need to prepare for not having as much free time as I have had this past month so lots of Wii and Xbox were played this week. I will end this post with 2 videos from 2 of my favorite kids movies both about being prepared. Vote for you favorite ones in the comments.

First Day: Feb 1st :-)
