I cannot believe how fast this year has gone! It seems like just yesterday that I received a photo and letter from my mentor teacher. I was so excited and nervous as I anticipated the first day of student teaching. I gained so much experience and confidence through the Pekin Professional Development School, it truly was a life changing experience. The internship really prepared me for when I have my own classroom because of all the experience I had. I could not have had a better student teaching experience then I did through Pekin PDS program.
