1. Christmas Music

2. Decorating my house

3, Baking cookies and making chocolates even if they are not good snack foods

4. Driving around to see holiday light displays

5. Finding a perfect gift for someone you love

Student Teaching is Done!

    I just completed my last day of student teaching yesterday.  It was bitter sweet, since I am going to miss the students, the other teachers, and the school.  We had a pizza party for the kids to celebrate.  They cleared up six whole pizzas.  They also wrote me letters about the favorite lessons we did while I was teaching, which I plan to keep. 

    My master's degree coursework is also complete now.  I can barely remember the last few weeks, since I was busy writing so many assignments and papers and finishing my portfolio.  It is so strange that this journey has come to an end already.
