Almost finished!

Student teaching is all done. 8 weeks of kindergarten was a challenge and completely exhausting, but I got a lot out of it. My master teacher Kathy is incredible. I am amazed how many things can be made from cut out tracings of little hands! Everything from turkeys to menorahs, Santa Clauses to Christmas trees. Every once in a while my legs would feel very heavy - I would look down to see what was up, and there would be a small person clamped to it! ;-)

The California credentialing process includes four "performance tasks." I got back my final score today, and I have amassed the requisite number of points. All that is left is the presentation of my portfolio at the exit interview, and it looks like that will happen tomorrow. Then all I have to do is find a job...
