Tilden Takeover

This has definitley been both the best and most challenging week of my life. Starting out on this experience I didn't know what to expect. My hopes were high, but when I heard we would be going to the madhouse known as Tilden Middle School I wasn't pleased. HOWEVER, Tilden has been an amazingly unique learning opportunity that can't fully be described in a blog post. 

Being paired with my one of my experience leaders (Hi BriLow!) in Ms. Corbin's 6th grade class has been so much fun. The first few days were chaotic, but as I spend more time in the classroom I am happy for the chance to observe a wonderful teacher who cares deeply for her students, and interact with some amazing kids. And the after school program kids are so eager and smart.  Working with Erica on her posters was the highlight of my week. 

I love that in the face of a great challenge and spending a week so far removed from our comfort zone, my group has been able to grow, learn and laugh through it all. This group is awesome!

I'm not ready to leave Tilden. I wish we had more time here, but I know I am going to take this expereience and bring it with me wherever I go. 

I don't want to leave.
