I want to get this blog back up again
Last year wasn't necessarily bad, but it was stressful. I learned that my class the year before was my favorite by far.
Next year I'm teaching math to all of fifth grade which I'm super excited about. I'm sure there will be lots of fun stuff to share ^^

One for the books
Had one of the funniest interactions today during a diagnostic test. These tests are pretty strict in what can or cannot be done, basically the kids have to be all on their own, you can't even read the questions out to them.
Anyway, the test was starting, the kids were focusing when one of my boys raised his hand. I went over to him and this is how it went.
Me: what's up, are you okay?
Him: I don't get it.
Me: you know I can't help you, you gotta figure it out.
Him: but the question is "how many feet does a tripod have?"
I looked at him for a second, hoping it would click.
Him: Miss... words don't have feet.
I had to control myself because that is the cutest most literal thing I've ever heard.
Me: alright, just really think about it and try your best.
I had to excuse myself and get the giggles out.
Words of wisdom for new teachers.
"Fake it 'til you make it. "
Whether you're a brand new teacher just out of college, new to a country, school, or even grade level it can be intimidating to get started. After all, you're expected by those little people in your classroom to be in complete control and be knowledgeable about everything, even though, just as the kids are learning about you, you're learning about them. When they're not in the room you can panic, ask for help, support from the team or admin, but while they're there, they trust you know what you're doing even though that couldn't be further from the truth. So you gotta fake it, act like you know exactly how kids their age think, act like the little surprises that happen in the day or in your lesson are completely planned out and on purpose, act like you are the the most skilled and resourceful person you know, instead of the frazzled mess you feel like inside. Eventually the act will become the truth as you learn your kids, feel more comfortable in your position and your curriculum, and get to know the inner workings of the school itself. If you do it well the kids won't know the difference and will have more confidence in you as you build more confidence in yourself.
Walking into school first thing in the morning.
Principal: Have a nice day!
Me: Yeah it is gonna have a nice day.
Me to me: what the fuck did I just say?
First and second day back
I'm really excited. Despite some hiccups with technology, the kids seem really sweet and departmentalizing is amazing. One said that I was the best teacher ever. I told them to wait until November then see if they still feel that way. We're all in the honeymoon phase right now so I'm just waiting for behaviors to start bubbling up.

Student: i didn't do my homework, i didn't understand it.
Me: did you try?
Student: well... no
Me: how could you know you didn't understand it if you didn't even try?
