Ms. Griffiths. That is currently my name this to 26 5th graders.

Student teaching. So exhausting. So much fun.

I'll expound more on my experiences as student teacher at a later time. That is, if I ever figure out how to make time to do something besides sleep, school, and plan lessons. I am not getting paid enough for this. (No, I'm not getting paid at all.)

I just wanted to say this: learning is awesome!

I wish that my fifth graders could be learning as much as I am right now about the explorers of the 16th century. Reading is the greatest.

I think that's one of the many reasons why I chose teaching as my profession. Because that means I'll be learning forever. I'll be reading books and learning new things for the rest of my life. And how awesome is that?

Ok, sorry, there wasn't any real reason for this post. It was mostly just to take a brief break from my Vespucci, Balboa, and Magellan lesson I'm planning for tomorrow.

Bonus points to anyone who knows who those people are and what they did without looking it up.
