First off, I taught my first lesson for my University Supervisor and it went quite well. I was so nervous because that was my first time being observed teaching in Florida. I did a great job, and my mentor teacher and University Supervisor both said they enjoyed the lesson. I start to take over teaching most of the school day this week so I will be quite exhausted once this week is over. But I am excited to begin to be the main teacher in the classroom. It is definitely a new experience for me. My students here in Florida are awesome! They are so polite and they love having me in their classroom each day. There are some differences between the schools here in Florida and schools I have taught in while in Ohio. Overall, I really like my school down here and the other teachers that I work with are so friendly and helpful. I couldn't have gotten a better school to do my student teaching at here in Florida.
Amanda, Vanessa and I have gotten a membership at the nearby gym so that we can go workout after school. We have been attending fitness classes there and we are loving them! So far we have gone to Zumba, Sha'bam, Body Attack, Body Vive, and Body Step. The fitness classes here are so much fun, and there are a lot of people that attend them. I would say that Sha'bam is my favorite one because it is like zumba, but we dance to songs that we know and are more popular nowadays. Going to these fitness classes is a great stress reliever from all of the lesson plans that we have to write.
About a week and a half ago after a long week of teaching, Amanda and I took an adventure to Old Town. Old Town is a carnival that is right around the corner from Celebration. They had many rides and tons of different shops that you can go to. We had such a great time just walking around and exploring what was there. We even stopped in the game room and played a couple rounds of skeeball! :)
The next day Amanda, Vanessa and I started off the day by going to Orange World. There were a bunch of oranges outside and we really enjoyed eating the samples of oranges that they were passing out. Next, we went to play mini golf at Congo River Golf. This is an AMAZING mini golf course. It had plenty of decorations and it really made us excited to see what was coming up next. This was one of the best mini golf courses I have ever been to.
We are very much enjoying our time here in Celebration. There is so much to do, and Celebration is such a beautiful town to live in :) The weather is perfect and we couldn't have asked for better host families to show us around the town. Time is going by so quickly and I can't believe we have been here for two weeks already!
