I really enjoyed our visit to Idlewood.

I have been really nervous about teaching.

I guess it is the unknown factor.

Idlewood and the kids help with this. 

I felt comfortable in the class and now have a different level of confidence.

I was intrigued by the kids questions and answers with Michaels ”game”

Esp. from Glen, my student.

He was happy that it was the last day of school, but was also sad because

he said he was going to miss hi teacher and the other students.

It was refreshing to hear that from an 8 yr old.

Idlewood also helped my stereotypical views of what an urban minority school

would looked like.

I was impressed.  There were alot of things that were different and lacking, but

all in all it was pleasant.

 This experience was encouraging and has made me want to fast forward to next year.
