Two Weeks Down…
Friday, September 14th, 2007 | Sara the Teacher
Well, I’m just finishing my second week of school. I forgot just how much energy teaching takes. I’ve fallen asleep on the couch every night this week at about 9:00. I’m exhausted! I feel great, though.
It’s good to be back with 8th graders (did I just say that “outloud?”). I’m really enjoying my job right now. I’ve taught these lessons before and now I can have some fun with them. I made up a game last year to reinforce writing numbers in “expanded form.” There was very little “prep” for the game this year, as I made all of the pieces and the rules poster last year. Every one of my classes *loved* the game. I couldn’t believe I was walking around a classroom with every student engaged (a true dream-come-true!).
I feel more confident in my teaching style and ability. That gives me time to enjoy my students and really be aware of their learning needs. I think I still get a little too emotionally connected to my lessons and my students, but I tend to be a passionate person in most aspects of life.
So…there’s the update on my classroom. I find myself as busy as ever, but truly able to enjoy the calling God has given me.
