Friday was Spirit Day which equal tons of screams, jumping, around acting crazy, and basically having fun. First week overall was great though, so much happened I can't really type it all here. But I finally met the kids they are pretty awesome individuals. As I've said before they have been in for 2 years already, and they pretty much love Breakthrough otherwise they wouldn't be back I suppose. My family (Family 9!) like every other family split up into two groups, by how they performed on their english and math test. My first class of the day I love, these are the lower achieving students, but the other groups not so much (mainly because they think they know everything).
But I feel really comfortable in the teaching role. For some reason I thought I would be really nervous in front of the students, but it's not like that at all. It's also kinda awesome because I can kinda do what I want in the class for the sake of learning (i.e., doing random things). The one thing that I don't like is lesson planning. it sucks. I guess it good though because you always need to be prepared, because honestly some topics I could wing, like come up with problems for, but others I definitely could not. But I think it's great to have a game plan otherwise we would definitely get off subject real quick.
What else can I say....
Phone calls we have to do weekly phone calls to parents, which was interesting. All the parents I called were happy that people call to say good things. I'm just glad none of them are mean or nothing like that.
Um that's pretty much it. I just kinda find something to do this weekend. I"m thinking about exploring Denver.
peace
