Number of weeks into the school year: .5
Number of times I have been over my course expectations: 7
Number of times I have mispronounced my new students’ names:
approx 11
Number of hours in the classroom: 10
Number of hugs received: over 100
Number of times my old students have requested to have me
back: enough to make my heart ache.
In the past week and a half we have had staff orientation, a
nerd party to celebrate my birthday, freshmen orientation, and the two days of
regular classes. Staff orientation was
packed with the usual workshops on how to lesson plan, assessing students,
motivating students etc. The nerd party
was for us volunteers to get to know each other better. What better way to get
to know someone than to see their awkward side?
Freshmen orientation consisted of us teachers telling the newbies the
rules and showing them where their classes would be taken. And finally, the first two days of regular
classes consisted of going over rules and expectations, course outlines, and
explaining to my former students why I am not teaching them. As much as I want to be back in the classroom
with them, I know that God works in mysteriously good ways.
All credit goes to Joe, he is a decorating genius!
