Time is Flying!

That is the theme for me lately, for both good and bad.  Bad because it feels like crunch time with getting everything done and good because the closer it gets, the more excited I get about the cultural exchange!  With my placement, I am only going to be there less than a month more now (so about two months total, which feels so short!)  I have taken over Math and reading groups, two of the main subjects covered in the times I am there, but most likely won't have a chance to teach science/social studies before I leave because of the time they are covered (few and far between unfortunately).  Although Saxon math doesn't thrill me still, it has made me better at time managemen and keeping things on track and moving along (I am one for extending side conversations!).  And I do get an odd sense of accomplishment getting all the worksheets we have to finish done in time (never thought I would say that!). 
For something more engaging, I am teaching the day of Explorations right before Thanksgiving and my unit is all about Creepies and Crawlies....lots of bug fun, so I am excited about that!  My teacher will be out of the room most of the day and I get to independently plan/carry out all my bugtastic ideas, so I am excited/busy squeezing in the preparations to my every mounting "To Do" list :)
