First Foggy Fantastication

The past couple days a heavy fog has settled over the area, dramatically reducing the visibility in various places.  However amidst the fog, I have found great excitement and joy in this dramatic weather.  Likewise as I have felt that a heavy fog had settled over me in one of my classes at school, God has given me many blessings in it.  As I have mentioned in previous posts, I had one particular Child Development class that I was quite stressed and overwhelmed in.   This past Tuesday in class, as I previously mentioned, my aunt gave me an enormous help and my professor stopped class in her busy schedule to help me and my classmates on it, plus she pushed back the date on the assignment that I was confused on.  

Today God brought much more excitement in that class yet again!  The professor started class with some house keeping items.  First she informed us, after a short class discussion on the current project, that she would be, yet again, pushing back the due date of this assignment, giving us more time.  She was pressing that she is looking for quality and wants to give us the time necessary to do so.  I am nearly finished with that project already, I may go back and do some touch ups now though.   Then she told us she has decided to drop the weekly quizzes and replace them with thorough class decisions (a far better option than the quizzes).    She then proceeded to tell us that she has decided to drop the next major assignment (I had reviewed it this morning and was silently not looking forward to it) which was to do a Finger Play activity with 0-2 year olds (A finger play is a song-like rhythm with actions.  For example, Patty cake, row row row your boat, Five monkeys in a tree, etc... and then do some other paper work assignments and a lesson plan prior to it).    She dropped the assignment to help not stress us out as much.  She told us (tying it into what we are learning) that this was an example of modifying and accommodating in a classroom - those two terms mean a lot more now.   Plus she said she would post the study guide for our midterm in a week and a half this weekend.  At the beginning of the semester she was thinking that the midterm exam would be open book, however she changed her mind.  Now the midterm exam is open notes, but no book.   WOW GOD!    She talked to me and explained in class that she understands that it can be stressful and overwhelming and she is willing to work with us.  

Praise God, I am nearly speechless!  I had not expected anything like this, God you are so good in all that you do.

Thank you to everyone who was praying for me, God heard your prayers and has acted upon them!   Glory be to God!
