Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Today was a pretty good day all around. I feel like I use this blog to vent sometimes, but I need to record the good things that happen as well. Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Today I was able to tape the first of my three lessons, and I was really excited to get through this first day. The kids did pretty well (aside from the first three times I had to start and stop filming because they all came down with a case of the giggles!) and I think the lesson went well overall. Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Yesterday, I said that as part of my student teaching, I would be videotaping myself as I taught lessons for three days beginning this afternoon. Well, as anyone who has been around children can attest to, things don't always go according to plan when you're waiting on kids to finish work. We took so long to finish a math lesson that they were having trouble understanding that I never had time to do my extra lesson and videotape today. Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Tonight I'm preparing for one of the most important parts of student teaching: videotaping myself teach. Starting tomorrow, I'll be taping myself teach three days in a row. Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Today was a long, exhausting day for me. I was out of the house at 7am and on my way up to my college campus. From 8am to 3pm, I was part of a "Success Camp" which was basically working with my peers on this semester-long practical exam that we need to complete in order to become certified to teach. Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
It's finally the end of the week but there's no slowing down for me anytime soon. I need to work on school-related projects all weekend, and I don't even get a day off on Monday. Instead, I have to be up at my campus at 8:00am and be part of a full day workshop until 3:00pm. Sheesh! At least I can sleep past 6:30am tomorrow! I'm so tired that I feel like I can just collapse at any minute! Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Well it looks like it's night three of going to bed way too late, but there's nothing much I can do about that. The good news is that I'm all prepared for our Valentine's Day party tomorrow, and my little sisters were extremely happy with their cupcakes for their parties today. I'm exhausted, but totally ready to party tomorrow afternoon! Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Today was certainly a day full of preparations. Between finishing up all of the cupcakes for everyone's Valentine's parties and getting ready to be observed by my supervisor for the first time in student teaching tomorrow, I've been keeping busy all day. Plus, my mom had her hands full tonight trying to get my little sisters to write out their Valentine's cards (because yes, don't judge, we're one of those houses that unfortunately leaves a lot to the last minute... you know that you do it too!). Welcome back to Taylor Talks!
Well it's 11pm, and I know that as soon as my mom sees that I'm posting this late, she's going to question me on why I wasn't sleeping already. I have to get up so early for student teaching that I usually go to bed by 10pm every night. It's crazy! But tonight I had to finish taking cupcakes out of the oven and then was catching up with a friend, so I'm okay with being tired tomorrow. |
AboutMy family started doing foster care when I was three years old. We took in nineteen children over the course of eighteen years, with our last placement leaving in December 2014. I'm the only biological child in my family, though my parents adopted five of my siblings.
I love to share my perspective on the foster care system and share how my unique upbringing shaped my life. I'm also a Cast Member at Walt Disney World and lover of all things Disney! My career allows me the opportunity to find a little bit of Magic in life every day. I enjoy sharing my journey as a writer as well. Find my children's books on Amazon and keep following my blog for updates on future books that I'll be releasing! Archives
