QOTD means question of the day. Melissa Joan Hart has been posting these everyday on her Instagram and I look forward to answering them with thousands of other individuals around the world. Today's questions was:

In 5 years, I'll be 30 and I am hoping I will be married by that point. What would I like to be doing at 3:00pm on a Friday five years from now? Easy, I'd like to be sitting in a rocking chair nursing my baby.

Student Teaching

I started student teaching in a 2nd grade classroom on Tuesday and my first day was a huge success!

Tickle Monster!

My last day with the girls was Friday. :-( They love reading and I am obsessed with children's literature so I thought I'd share with them one of my favorite books. They loved it and we read it four times before nap and then six times after nap. I'd say this book will be in the nightly rotation for awhile! ;-)
