Student Teaching

Stephen started his student teaching today at Mountain View High School. We are so excited that he is finally to this point! He will be done April 16th, it makes the end seem a whole lot closer! His major is History so that is what he will be student teaching, but his minor is Spanish and that is what he would like to teach when he graduates. I am so proud of him! He is very busy and these next few months will make him even more busy, but I know he is going to do an awesome job. He is going to make an amazing teacher! He chose to go into teaching because he wanted to make a difference in the students' lives. I know the students are going to love him!

He called me today at his break and told me that it was ok, but that the school was really dirty. He said that he used one of the hall bathrooms and he couldn't even wash his hands because the sinks were clogged and overflowing. It makes me sad that the state doesn't put money where it really needs to go. Hopefully that will change eventually. He said that he is going to be observing for the first week, and then he will start to teach next week. He is really excited, and I know he is going to do an amazing job!!!

I really wanted to get a picture of him on his first day but I was still sleeping when he left this morning. But this is what he is aspiring to... He always tells me he is going to wear bow ties to school. I am trying to convince him otherwise!!!
