Assignment!

So as you all probably know, I've been waiting since practically DECEMBER to get my student teaching placement with DoDDS (department of defense dependents schools). Last Saturday I finally got my placement! I am officially student teaching on the U.S. Army base in Garmisch Germany at Garmisch Elementary/Middle school! This base was made for R&R!



From what I know right now, I'm doing my first nine weeks in a first grade classroom (which is perfect because I want to teach first grade). All I know about my special ed. placement is that I have one, and right now that's all i need to know! Everyone is having trouble getting a special ed. placement even in Phoenix, so I'm thrilled to have one at all! Garmisch couldn't be a more beautiful place to be! The school is located near the base of the Bavarian alps! Here is a picture of the side of the school...


The coordinator of the DoDDS program at NAU told me that this particular school has a thing every Wednesday called Wonderful Wednesday. On these days, we only have a half day of school, then we do some sort of outdoor/outdoor education thing. Sometimes it's hiking and even snowboarding! I have a feeling Wonderful Wednesdays will be my favorite days! Well this is about all I know right now! I am just so excited that I finally know where I'll be for the next four months! This is all I know as of now, but I'll end this thing with a message I found helpful (while I've been waiting the past few months) I saw every day on my bathroom wall (compliments of Brianna) that said: Lord when I am anxious fill me with your spirit of peace and love.. So blessed to have a roommate who didn't even know she was helping me everyday with that!
