neverending.

No matter how much I feel like I'm getting done... I still feel so behind in all of my work. :( I know I'm not, but my goodnesssss this quarter went by fast.

Okay, I said I would update about my new students...

Man, are they different from my little second graders. It's tough dealing with 36 students, but my DCT said, "at least you can tell that they like you." I can't imagine these kids not liking me; it would be even more stressful.

On top of that, the students are learning at such different rates. In 2nd grade, they're all pretty much on the same level (except for the few that just seem to know a little more than others). But by the time they get to 6th, you have students who are reading at a 3rd grade level, students who should be in GATE, students who don't want to do anything, and students who get lost in the mix.

It is not easy. I never said it was, right? Haha. It's tough, but everyday I learn something new... and everyday I feel that this is what I should be doing.

I just need to get grad school out of the way!!! Bleh.


Alright, enough of that. You will just have to wait for more updates in like two more months. K thanks. :)

it's february?

Oops. I haven't been posting, I know. I said January would be hectic!

Too much happened in January that I will just do quick updates:

- I left my little 2nd grade babies behind. :(
- Today I met my 6th graders. [I will write more about them in a later post].
- My videotaping for my Math PACT Teaching Event went well, now I just have to write the 30+ pages of commentary about planning the lessons, assessing, reflecting, etc. :/
- Bowser is doing good. He's gonna get the n-word next week!
- My grandma turned 90 last month! Crazy, huh?!


Okay, that's enough for now. I shall return for an update on my 36 new students!
