My LAST real SeMeSTeR

It is so crazy to think this is the last semester I will have classes at BYU. Seriously how crazy is that?

I am taking 18 credits {the MOST I have EVER taken and the MAX at BYU}.

It is a similar set up to last semester. I will spend about 2/3 of the time at BYU and 1/3 of the time in an elementary school classroom {I have already been assigned to the 4th grade. so excited!}

The classes I'm taking:
*Math Methods- exactly as it sounds methods to teach math
*Science Methods- methods to teach science
*Social Studies Methods- methods to teach social studies
*Literacy Methods-seeing a pattern?
*CPSE- Special Education
*Instruction and Assessment- exactly as it sounds
*TELL Practicum- This is my only 4 credit hour class. My minor is Teaching English Language Learners or TELL and my instructors have to see it in practice before I can be endorsed with that minor.

James's classes:
*Soccer started and that is a million hours a week. It's like a job. But it is so fun! He has been doing all of these tests he did a bodpod test- to see his % body fat. A blood lactose test, vo2 max, etc. He's really liked them.
He's also taking
*Chemistry
*Russian
*Career Exploration
*Humanities
*Writing Fellows Writing- He is a writing fellow this semester. It is basically a writing tutor for some Russian classes.

You can't have a blogpost without a picture, so I dug this up. Here is me in the 4th grade. You think I can handle it Right?
