I just wrapped up my last day of phase 2 student teacher observation.  My final day was one that brought be a wide range of emotions.  I was sad, to not be able to see the teachers and students that I have gotten to know, relieved to be finished with a huge part of my graduate school process, and anxious to know how I did on my final observation.  This anxiousness was most strongly felt when at 5 minutes prior to my lesson I recieved an urgent phone call.  My observing professor was stuck in traffic due to a car accident.  She couldn't get off the highway and was going to miss our appointed time.
     However my cooperating teacher was quick thinking and araged to have a different first grade ESL class come later  in the day and I was able to teach the lesson I had prepared for.  It went great, and I have accomplished another huge milestone in my graduate degree program by completing my student teaching phase 2 at Summit Lane Elementary school.  All good things come to those who wait I guess.
