Hi Guys,
I have three weeks until my due date. I am so ready for the baby to come. I know the Lord has given me the strength to make it through this pregnancy. I think about all that has happened during this pregnancy with school, my family and NTI and it is amazing that I haven't lost my mind. I won't be seeing you all at the Saturday Session this week or on the 17th. . I will try to be back for our last class in Dec. I will be thinking about you all on Saturday.
This week at school has been a good week. I was observed twice in one day, which made me a little nervous. I was observed during 2nd block by our vice-principal and during 3rd block by our principal. When the principal came in during 3rd block, I was thinking, am I doing something wrong and the vice-principal wanted him to observe as well. Later, I realized that they had just realized that I will be leaving on maternity leave soon. They needed to get in my evaluations before I left. I am very thankful for Dr. B and Jessie for putting us through all those observations and classroom presentations. I think it has prepared me for days like this one.

FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

I hope everything goes GREAT with the baby! Congrats!
Thank God for NTI. Observation are a breeze. I don't think about who is in the room as much as I use too. May God be with you and the little one.
Yes, you are blesed to be able to endure all of that and still carry a life inside of you. Make sure you get REST and pamper yourself before baby comes. I agree, observations are a breeze after doing just 1 with Dr. B, I feel assured of myself.
Jamie, May God Bless You and the Baby. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
