I have been so bad about posting. Mostly because I have 1.2 million things to do between now and December 18th when I get to go home to California. These weeks are the most intense part of the Penn program (or so I understand) so I am buried up to my neck in child development papers, seminar reflections, lesson-analysis, and picture book creating. The picture book is the only fun part.
I feel like I would really enjoy the other parts as well, the child development stuff is interesting, and my formal lessons went well and were a lot of fun, but there is so much to do in so little time that I feel like I'm not able to enjoy any of it!
