Welcome

Welcome to my blog! I am kind of new to the whole idea of blogging, but I think I am going to have a lot to write about this year. I am enrolled in the Graduate School of Education (GSE) at Penn to get my master's in elementary education. We have already completed our first semester this summer and are 3 weeks into the fall semester. I am loving all of my classes! We are taking classes to learn about teaching/learning theories for math, social studies, science and literacy, plus a field seminar class. On top of all of these classes, I am student teaching 2 days a week. I am working at the Penn Alexander School (PAS), which convieniently is right down the street from my house. It is a unique public school (K-8) that partners with the University of Pennsylvania on a bunch of different initiatives. I am so happy to be student teaching there. I am already learning so much from my classroom mentor and other teachers at the school. My life feels pretty hectic recently, but I think I am finally adjusted to the fall schedule and have my homework plan in place. I look forward to writing more about my experiences in student teaching, Penn, and life in Philly this year!
