How to be cool on your first day of practicum

1) Make sure a bunch of the teachers don't even know you're coming
1.5) Go to the wrong room
2) Forget and accidentally introduce yourself to the kids by your first name
3) Spill yogurt down the front of your shirt at lunch time
4) Laugh when a kid gets chastised for doing something bad that was funny
5) Almost make a kid cry because you remembered everyone's name but hers
6) Run into a previous student you are incredibly proud of, then make sure tears well up and you cause a bit of a scene. Bonus points if someone offers you help.
7) Leave early, but forget to tell your mentor teacher that you were going to do so
8) Lose the key they gave you
9) Don't give the teachers the package that you were supposed to
10) Don't give them a specific date that you're coming back. Let them wonder.

How to be cool for real:
1) Bring three dozen doughnuts for the staff
2) Make jokes
3) Tell the librarian you think she's 10 years younger
4) Offer to do marking
5) Wear random monkey hat
