Life is like a Rollercoaster !
The week goes by quickly, the weekends even quicker. School is keeping me very busy. I am continually amazed by all of the support I get at school. I have been amazingly placed with a teacher who has so much in common with me, it can be almost scary at times. At the end of the day, we sit and chat about the kids, even though we have two different groups of kids. We have very similar philosophies about teaching, and we've even planned similar projects without even talking about it, even to the point where they match up in points!
The kids are pretty good. One class is more talkative than the other. The quieter class is not the advanced math class, and oddly enough, I seem to get more done with them. I'm not sure why that is. I think it's because the more talkative and higher level group tends to nitpick at stupid little things. They get wrapped up in the unimportant and thus, we get less done. I think I need to challenge them more.
I'm not finding too much to be a challenge. It's just different. I seem to have found my groove and that's what counts. It did take me a few weeks, but once back to school night was over, I was just fine. Hopefully, it will keep going just as smoothly. In the meantime, another week, with a challenge within, but I'm sure I'll be just fine!
