If you don't already know, I would love to be a high school German teacher one day. Who knows what path I'll take to get there, but right now I have the pleasure of student teaching at Leopold Elementary school in Madison. Last semester I helped out with a 2nd grade dual language immersion classroom with hands down the most lovely, funny, caring group of kids I've ever met. I used to not be able to stand young kids, but they just cling to you so quickly, you can't really help it! My amazing amazing mentor teacher sent me a couple pictures she took of us in the classroom, and I thought they were pretty cute.

I just started a new semester at Leopold last Monday. Now I'm in a 4th grade and 5th grade classroom, and I'll be teaching for 45 minutes in each every Monday and Wednesday starting in one week. I still have so much to think about in terms of lesson planning. Should the students call me Frauline Rayna? How much Deutsch is too much Deutsch? There are so many questions, and I think the only way I can tackle this thing is to just dive right in. I'll be with them until June, and some of the kids have specifically requested German because they want to take it in middle school, which makes me really happy.
