So I had an interesting revelation today. I was talking with my cooperating teacher about my lessons and things that I was nervous about, etc. And she asked if my lesson was actually six days (since I'm starting this friday and going until next friday). I reminded her that monday was a teacher workday and there wasn't school and she freaked out, saying she didn't know that, etc. When we checked the schedule, it turns out it was a school holiday. I hadn't even thought that it mattered whether it was a holiday or a workday, ya know? Since all that was important was that there wasn't school... but it DOES matter!! I can't believe we need to start making the distinction! One of them means we come to school (as teachers) and the other means we're off too. I never even thought to consider that there is a distinction! I mean, I obviously knew they were different, but I didn't care since it just meant I miss school. It's so weird to have to start thinking like a teacher! I just haven't wrapped my head all the way around it I guess... It's so funny for me to think about how ready I am to be teaching in my own class one second and then how incredibly un-ready I feel the next!
