2 weeks down - 3 to go

I think this internship is going by faster than either of my practicums.  It's just whizzing by!  I can't believe that after 3 weeks, I'll be DONE!!!  Is it possible?  [Although, because I'm also taking an AQ, I'll actually still be taking that course for another 2 weeks - but at least I will be able to sleep in :)]  It's been everything I was hoping it would.  I wanted to make connections with another alternative school that I had heard about and was very interested in and I wanted to see how a holistic school was working in the context of the TDSB.  It is great - and the added bonus is there is a big outdoor education focus at this school.  And I feel really fortunate because I'm helping to organize their curriculum binders for each grade - which has a lot of the resources they've been using for the 3 years since the school opened.  I pretty much finished the grade 2 curriculum binder today - stories of sages and trickster stories - from around the world.  Next week we'll work on grade 1 and kindergarten.  I'm making a sage and trickster unit on the Islamic prophet Mohamed and trickster tales about Goha - a well known character in the Middle East.  I'm also going to include songs from the region and art activities.  I'll start presenting it to the grade 1/2 class on Monday.
