WOA WEA

Well ladies and Gents,
I am past the one week of teaching full time, and I love it! I have to say that first week is quite stressful with all the added things that you do not learn in your classes. They really need to give us a class or two on like how to make announcements, grade books, organization of classes and stuff like that! I could teach and plan fine, its you know the other 60% of the job that took a bit to get use to. I'm really glad I have my teacher that I do, he has a lot of great information. We also can talk pretty much about anything so it works out really well. I just finished up teaching my first chapter, and I'm about to begin my second. I have my First quiz tomorrow, and then shortly after my first test a week from Monday! The grade book is starting to fill up and the good times are starting to roll!
As for my classes, I'm really beginning to build relationships with some of my students. This is making the time go a lot faster, and making class a bit more enjoyable. The kids can definitely tell that I'm a fun loving teacher, but if they cross my bad side I'm a pretty harsh teacher. Today we played a game in all my classes to review one of my readings on Martin Luther. It was great because all of the classes did it, even my 3rd period class which can hardly speak in class. We are about to move on to Exploration!
Lol today I was asking my teacher which chapters I could cut out to get to World War One and Two faster! I have so many Ideas. I cant wait to get more Star Wars into my classroom. I have an idea already for World War II, and am still looking for more. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. Also some great movies I can not wait to use, La Vida de Bella and all quiet on the wester front :-). Also I can finally use my huge NAZI book collection I have! oh its like all my dreams have come true! I can teach little kids about Nazis! lol ;) that one is for you Abbey. Na This semester should be great and I'm looking forward to it all.
As for life on the home front, things have still ben a bit rough. But I got a few phone calls to cheer me up so, you know who you are, but thanks for those! As for now I'm going to be working on my car a bit...yes the hyperdrive is out again...fucking Falcon! For those of you wondering about my computer...yes it has about 20 lines on the screen now, but it is still pumping along. But good news I get a 10% discount on apple computers because I'm a teacher! yay!
I have been working on my TEFL class, but I have been sidetracked a bit do to a language program, lol so I have started learning Italian and German! haha ya why do one at a time when you can do 2! But the program is great, and addicting.
And for the final news, the best of all, SNOWBOARDING this weekend prey for snow, which I think there is going to be a lot of...SUPER B SIDE!!!! :) Hope all is well with everyone.
Ciao
