Week 1. Done.

I meant to update earlier this week, but I was too busy. Even last night I was going to but then I fell asleep at 9 something, I guess my body can't handle stay up late, hence I am up at 7am in the morning on a Saturday  typing this. Nah, actually it can I was just dead tired from the day. 

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
