VFU (praktik/internship)

Time sure flies by! Almost Easter now. I have almost finished additionally one course called "Young People in the Community" on my way to becoming a teacher. These past two weeks I have been out on (an) internship. It has been an interesting experience, I have been in a second grade and I have really enjoyed it! I also think that I have thrived some in that environment. The kids were so sweet and the teaching instructor that I worked with has been wonderful, she has already taught me so much! I really am going to miss being together with them. I wish that the internship had been a lot longer than it was, it was only 8 days this time. Part of this course has been about learning about the value-system and I took a few interviews, one from the principal of the school and a couple from a 2nd and a 3rd grade teacher. We have to make a so called PIM - video (I had never heard of it before starting my studies) based on the value - system. We also have to write a research paper based on the interviews and the observations that I have made. This has to be a 7 page report and I hope that it won´t be too much of a problem to start and complete it. This and the PIM - video is something that we have to present on May 3rd when we are going to Karlstad University. At least I have a little extra time on my hands, for about 10 days, because my family is taking a cruise in the Caribbean enjoying themselves, so that leaves me all by my lonesome self to concentrate on what I have to. It´s a good thing that Aaron and I have a trip to NY to look forward to in mid-May. This will collide with the next course that I am taking whcih is called "Leadership in Pedagogical Environments," but I will just have to bring my computer and my books and try to work on it a little while gone. My summer break will start following that. at least when it comes to my studies. Instead I will have to work a little but I hope to be able to spend some time with my kids too before school starts again. I cannot quite believe it, but my baby boy Aaron will be starting school in the Fall.
