Drowning in Homework!

Well, it's been several weeks since our technology course, and I miss it! With EED 701 and EED 749 we have had tons of reading and many homework assignments. One of the most difficult assignments for me had to do with case law and bilingual education. Sifting through those cases was wrenching. I got through, and thankfully, I have completed the assignment associated with them. I was to compose an email to a school board with regards to the legal rights of the English Language Learners. Another assignment, which was a little more fun, was a field assignment where we visit a place that is non-mainstream. I chose the Hindu temple in Yuba City. Writing this assignment was easier and lot more fun. We start our student teaching assignments next week, and pre-service begins on the 15th. I am looking forward to it, but am a little nervous too. It's a huge time commitment. Overall, I feel I am learning a lot and gaining more insight into teaching.
