My first official day of teaching!
I am learning more and more each day. It is so interesting to me to observe and interact with students. They are all so different. I have two 6th grade classes and they couldn't be more different from each other. One class is chatty but getting them to talk in a discussion is like pulling teeth! The other class just love to talk...period! I am also learning the delicate balance between not minding noise and chatter and to much noise and chatter.
I taught for my first day today. We learned about Cortes conquering the Aztec Empire and the social structure the Spanish developed. Tomorrow we are doing a web search on Ipads! Salem just purchased them and we will be the first class to use them, which is pretty cool. In Religion we talked about how the Pharisees wanted Jesus to perform a sign to prove he was the Savior but Jesus refused and said they already had a sign in Jonah. The students told me how they knew Jesus was our Savior. Salem continues to welcome me into the fold of their school and the staff is so friendly and nice that I feel very comfortable with them. Although someone called me a red-head today which I was a little confused about because I have had red hair as far as I know :)
