It looks like somebody has a case of the Mondays
Today was a little overwhelming. I am currently student teaching in Blanchard working with 2nd and 3rd graders. This week in math we're doing fractions. I was somewhat nervous and unsure altogether of how to explain fractions to the students and whether any of them already knew anything about fractions. My first group consists of 2nd graders. These particular students are much lower developmentally but they always surprise me with things and concepts they grasped so I wasn't sure how the fractions would go. Um...not well. I started off reading a book about fractions to introduce the concept and common terms and fractions. No. It went all wrong. I just ended up stopping in the middle and asked my teacher for help. Then after that group left I just broke down. My teacher let me step outside so I could cry over my complete failure. I felt horrible. My wonderful teacher told me that she has times like that still and to not worry about it. So I continued on with fractions for the other two groups, another 2nd grade group and then a 3rd grade group. Each group was better and better because developmentally the students were higher and higher.
So glad I got my first cry out of the way. I'm sure it won't be my last. And happy to report the rest of the day went pretty well. So tomorrow going to change up the original plan a bit and make things more enjoyable for EVERYONE!
Hope everyone else had a great day especially my good friend Jeana!! No more Pump it Up stories to share.....tear.

25 Random Things
I've read some random things about other people lately and decided I would write my own. Presenting: 25 random things about me!
1. I was born 3 weeks early, weighing 5 lbs. and 9 oz.
2. I swallowed my first tooth eating pizza at ChuckECheese and wrote a note to the tooth fairy explaining the situation. It totally worked because I got $3!!!
3. I used to be a cheerleader....but it didn't last long.
4. I hated going to day care during my early years. Complete torture.
5. Shaving is a pain. I usually get bored in the middle of it and end up only shaving one leg. Husband can verify this.
6. I've always wanted to take voice lessons and become an AWESOME singer....oh well.
7. I do not enjoy cooking. I'm too impatient to wait for the food to finish and it just makes a huge mess with dishes to clean. I'm so grately my loving husband does enjoy cooking and keeps me well fed!
8. It bothers me when there are wet feet print on the floor mat from people after they showered. I would like to advise all future house guests to dry their feet before stepping down. Thanks for the support.
9. The color orange....disgusting. Period.
10. My husband is my one and only boyfriend. Unless you count those elementary romances. But let's not.
11. I could eat pasta and rice everyday. Which I pretty much already do. For example, dinner tonight was angel hair pasta w/herbs and that's all. And...I actually made it!
12. People used to ask me if I was related to Donald Sutherland, the actor. Um....why actually yes. My family just chose to change the spelling of our name. We wanted to be different. So we picked Sutherlin. (I hope my sarcasm is seeping through here)
13. I like sarcasm and use it often.
14. My favorite ice cream is cookies n cream!
15. I look forward to one day being a mom. I really want a little boy.
16. I really don't enjoy going to school. I'm glad to have graduated and be done with writing papers and taking tests.
17. I have a really good memory. Especially numbers, names and faces.
18. I agree with Lori. I too hate getting ready for bed when I'm tired. Remove contacts, wash face, brush teeth, use restroom, put on chapstick, and usually go to the bathroom again. Ugh.
19. I love watching TV. Probably a little too much. Some of my favs are One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives, CSI: New York, Criminal Minds, The Mentalist, Grey's Anatomy, The Biggest Loser. Just to name a few.
20. My first pet was a cat my parents got for me when I was around one. She was named Keikei because that's how I said kitty. Awww.....precious.
21. I like to sleep in the middle of the bed. Husband isn't a fan of this.
22. This was number in softball and basketball. (22).
23. My dear cousin calls me Two Two March. Apparently that's how I said at one time, at a young age. I've seen no proof of this so it can't be verified.
24. I prefer cats to dogs. They are much more less maintenance.
25. This was a lot harder than I thought it would be.
