For one of my classes this semester I get to go to Central Elementary School in Sugar City, Idaho. I help in a first grade classroom for two hours every Tuesday and Thursday morning. I got to teach science lessons on electricity this week! We learned about static electricity on Tuesday and then circuits/flashlights on Thursday! I love my first grade class and it's always good to see their faces light up and hear them say "Hi Miss Foote!" when I walk into the classroom. They love to show me their work when they are finished and they LOVE that my last name is Foote.
**side note: the first week I started helping in their class 'foot' was one of their spelling words. Needless to say, I was the star that Thursday when I got to introduce myself**
Anyway, this week was awesome. I can't say enough how blessed I feel to be at a school that allows Sophomores/Juniors to go out into the field so early on and develop their ideas and knowledge about teaching. I already know, after just three weeks, that if it weren't for these few short weeks being in the classroom, I would have been in for a BIG surprise when I went to student teach.
I love school. I love teaching. I can't wait to have a classroom of my own. :)
My camera refused to take a clear picture, but this is my name tag. :)

CUTE! Miss Foote! Love it.
Dear Miss Foote, I love your last name too! You are a real teacher whenever you are with children. As soon as they know you love them they will turn to you for help. We all knew you were a natural at this! Babies know you love them. I love teaching too. Your whitehead grandparents taught in one room schoolhouses during the depression and your Kane grandma taught diabetes education as a registered nurse and your foote mom taught dance and elementary school too. You're Related! Go Lauren! We are proud of you.
Love mom
You are going to be the best teacher EVER! Can I be in your class too? Maybe you can teach Heidi someday :) It makes me so happy that you're lovin' life right now!
