Can you believe it?!? The LAST blog...

My wonderful teachers!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend...CONGRATS GRADUATES!

Strange as it may be, it is time for the LAST BLOG!!!

Please let us know how you are doing as well as what your thoughts are as you wrap up your time in the classroom.

Finally, please indicate to me how you will get me all of your final paperwork. Your options are:
1. Mail it to me.
2. Put it in my box at Pepperdine
3. Leave it in the office of your school for me to pick up if you are at a school in the Conejo District.

I must have all of your paperwork within 1 week of your placement's completion.

All the best to you this week!

March 25-31 posts

Hello!

Sorry for the delayed post!

One of the keys to success in education is flexibility. As you finish out this week, consider the following:

" ...I have become all things to all people so I could save some of them in any way possible."
1 Corinthians 9:22 NCV

and

"Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have true opportunity to get the most from your talent." (Nolan Ryan)

Remember that even though your role right now may be more passive then you would prefer, there is always something to learn in every environment.

All the Best to you this week!

WEEK OF MARCH 19-23 posts

Hello Ladies!

As a child, my Dad sang to me ALL the time. (He was a teacher-I guess it was his attempt to reach my musical intelligence!) One of the songs he sang to me came to mind as I prayed for you this morning. I often reflect on it when times are challenging...SO it is my quote for the week! Keep up the great work, Ladies!

I can do anything,
Anything at all.
I can do anything,
Nothing can stop me now!
I can dream a dream,
and it can come true.
I can do anything,
if I can you can too!

Good luck tomorrow!!!!

Hi Ladies!

Praying for you all as you start your next placement. Be patient and remember that it will take time for you to adjust to your new teacher and students. We purposefully place you at extreme ends of the spectrum so that you can get a taste of ALL that teaching can offer. Keep your mind and heart open to everything that THIS placement holds...the joys may be different, but they are still just as JOYOUS!!! Approach the task at hand with as much enthusiasm and energy as you did during the last 8 weeks and it cant help but go well!
Can't wait to hear all about it!
HUGS!!!

Last week of placement 1 BLOG-yahoo!!!

As read in Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss...(in honor of his recent birthday!!!)

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.

You made it through the first 8 weeks~
Great work!
Looking forward to the places you will go next!

Blessings,
JS
