Sorry to disappoint, but this week has kind of been hairy. Not literally of course, but there have been some late nights. I guess this is an update about my field experience more than anything, so here it goes!
I finally got to meet my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Slaughter, at KCHS and observe her classroom this week! Some of you know that it has kind of been a struggle to get to that point. Last week I went in to begin my field experience, and the secretary told me that the teacher was sick. Then the next day I was planning to go in, I called the office before driving over there. They told me she was still out sick, but then I received an email from her later that day asking me to come in at 1:30. Sadly, I did not check my email until 1:45, so we rescheduled to begin this week.
Thankfully on Tuesday I made it to the classroom without miscommunications or anyone getting sick! I am looking forward to learning from her this semester and interacting with the students. Right now I am mostly helping her out by grading papers, but starting next week I will begin tutoring some students as well. At some point in the semester I will be teaching at least one lesson, but I still have some time before I need to decide more about that 🙂
For now I am just praying that God gives me the strength to do my best in all areas that I am involved in from my field experience and schoolwork, to my two jobs, Navigators and AOII. This is a full semester, but God has blessed me with these many opportunities, and I am excited to see how He uses me in them.
Courtney is a member of the GE Creative Team and is the monkey in the middle of this trio of sisters. Her degree might be in English and Spanish Education, but she’s following God’s call on her life and pursuing full time ministry with The Navigators. If she’s not crafting, reading, or hanging with her hubby, you’ll probably find her at a local coffee shop sipping her caramel latte and opening up the Bible with college women.
