I recently registered for my Fall 2013 Semester classes! I am so excited to finally be able to get started with getting ready for classes and going back to school! In just about a month and a half (August), I will be getting information about my roommates, my housing, and getting ready for classes! I couldn't be more excited! I'm technically a sophomore in college now, can you believe it?!?
Just so you know what my schedule will be like, I'll post what my classes are that I've signed up for. Fair warning though, I'm signed up for 19 credits, but ElEd classes are actually usually worth a few more. Technically, I think it's about 23 or so credits worth of work and time that I'll have on my hands, but I couldn't be more excited and ready to go back to school!
FDENG201 - Advanced Writing/Critical Thinking
This class will actually be an online class I'm taking, but it sounds really difficult so far. English has always been my favorite class, and I've always done really well in it, but this class sounds HARD. There will be lots of argumentative papers, research and thesis papers, etc, so it will be a little different of writing than I've done before, but nothing to worry over right now. It's going to make me learn and grow, right? :)
FDREL200 - Family Foundations
This is a required class of every student at BYU-Idaho, and I'm actually really looking forward to it. Not only is this class taught by a man who used to be in my bishopbric growing up, but it focuses on The Family: A Proclamation to the World", and teaches us how to be ready to start a family, how to focus our lives on the Lord, etc. I've heard that my teacher is really hard, but he makes you learn a LOT about family, yourself, etc. I'm really looking forward to it.
FDSCI205 - Understanding DNA
This is a general elective class I chose to take this semester, and I'm looking forward to it! I'm not super good at science, but this class seemed to sound really interesting!
HIST115 - History and Civics for El Ed
This class, I'm not looking forward to tremendously. I don't really like history classes, but I guess if it's helping me become a teacher, I'll do it! Hopefully there's lots of coloring maps and stuff. :) Probably not, but I'm crossing my fingers!
MATH205 - Fundamentals of Number Theory
I have to have this class for El Ed, and I think I'm mostly excited for this class because my textbook is an illustrated math textbook/dictionary. We learn how to teach kids math, how to count through shapes, colors, projects, etc. I am SUPER excited. Probably the one math class I'll actually WANT to make it to!
ED242 - Motivation and Management
This class will teach me how to control a classroom, how to help kids throughout the school day, etc. I'm pretty excited for this one, because I'll actually get to use what I learn in the next class I describe....
ED241 - Elementary Early Field Experience
This class, I might be the most excited for!! I get to start traveling to Elementary schools, teaching kids one-on-one, in groups, and eventually in class settings! Although I will have teachers critiquing me along the way, I don't find that scary (yet!), but instead motivating to do the best I can! Another fun part of this class will be a handwriting and lettering section! I'm SO excited to learn how to write letters a little differently so that little kids can understand on a white board, what I write to them on their papers, etc. I absolutely cannot wait for this class!
These are all my classes this semester! They will definitely keep me busy, that's for sure! I'm extremely excited to go back to Rexburg, see my friends, and be right where I need to be. The temple will be visible from anywhere I walk, I will be able to make new friends, and I will have homework again! That sounds a little weird, doesn't it? At this point though, homework is more fun than work, and I'm looking forward to long days filled with cutting out papers, stapling lesson plans together, and getting ready to be a teacher!
Live. Love. Laugh. Grow.
