Mmm yeah, Burrito yeah

After teaching my lovely kids yesterday, we student teachers had to go to a seminar with the administration from local schools.  Mostly they just talked about what they looked for interviews and such.  My high school principal was on the panel of administrators so I got a chance to talk with him late evening.  Things I learned from this semester---One district is hiring 25 first year teachers in the fall (basically the are offering the old folk, like my parents, a lot of money to retire and hope that they take the offer).  One principal said that he would not hire people that were raised in the area. (Well, there go my hopes of being a townie forever apparently).  Although the meeting was too long after an already stressful day, the chance we had to mingle with the administrators was priceless. 

TODAY
I was supposed to be observed by my professor for a science lesson today.  He ended up being late and didn't get to see any of my lesson.  No biggie apparently.  My favorite part of the day was right after my science lesson.  One of the boys, Jared, came up to me and asked if we could sing the "Burrito Song".  I had no idea what he was talking about. "But Mrs. Garwood, you taught it to us the second day you were here.  Don't you remember?" replied Jared and two others.  Oh right, the camp song I taught them when my cooperating teacher was out of the room :)  It makes my heart happy to know that they remember things like this.  Camp love exists wherever I go...now if only I can teach them friendship bracelets and get away with it!
