So today was my second day of observing the first graders! I am in LOVE! Today I had a moment where I was sitting and watching some lessons and I just had this weird feeling, like, I just knew that this was the right place for me and that I am definitely on the right track. It really felt good to have that moment of reassurance. I never really had that while I was in dental hygiene so this is really exciting for me!
I began to talk with my teacher today about the lesson that I am supposed to prepare and teacher for her classroom! It is going to be presented right around Thanksgiving, so YAY FOR ME I get go present a Thanksgiving related lesson! She hasn't given me any specifics yet of what exactly she wants me to do it for, but tonight I kind of came up with my own idea and then I'm going to show her and see what she thinks! Right now it's a lesson involving pilgrims! Basically learning who they were and just a little bit of history about them that would be understandable to a first grader! Then I made this really cute worksheet where I plan on having them draw their own pilgrims and then write three things they learned about pilgrims during my lesson! I really hope she approves because this would be the perfect thing for my portfolio :) I'm so excited about it!! I'm so stoked to show her :)
Anyway, I really need to go to bed! Tomorrow is my boyfriend's brother's wedding! It's the first wedding I'll ever have been to, so I'm super excited to go!! Tonight I spent a little too much shopping for accessories to go along with the wedding/every day items. I got this ADORABLE leather jacket which I want to wear with my dress (edgy feminine!!!!) and plus the weather is saying it's going to be pretty cold and the reception is in a barn! I also got these super cute bootie/heels as well as a black cardigan and a chunky necklace to go with my dress! I hope the whole outfit looks super cute tomorrow :) It does in my head, haha!
So, yeah, that's pretty much it for tonight! I hope every one has a fantastic weekend!!

Hi Michelle! Your lesson sounds great. I am a 1st grade teacher and would be happy to help if you ever have any questions. One of my kiddos favorite Thanksgiving activities is to make a book about the story of Thanksgiving and then a retelling bracelet. I would love to share more about it if you are interested.
