1 week down 15 to go!

One week of school is done- or the classes are anyways. Now I just have the dreading homework. I have to say that I never thought I would have laughed so much on the first week of school, but I did. I have an awesome Block of girls to learn with.
Some highlights:

• Talking with one teacher and agreeing to make a 3 hr class at an elementary school a hybrid class!
• Making amends with previous teachers!
• At the elementary school my professor said, "The P.E. teacher is really cute and young!" Us: "When you say young do you mean young for you or for us and do you mean cute as in hott or cute as in nice/ gentleman?" Prof: "Young for me, but you'll see." P.E. teacher walks through the class and we all watch with staring eyes... Us: "yeah, he's not young or cute" Haha... he is for her and that's all that matters! lol!
• Old teacher humor!
• JIHGFEDCBA blast Off! (replacing letters for the numeral system for adding and subtracting! really difficult when you don't know your alphabet backwards!)
  
• When asked what math tools we would like to have in our classrooms to teach with one girl calmly said, "Calculator!" HAHA (Teacher was looking for the answer of paper, counters, t-tables, etc!)
• Sudoku!
• Geost foor phoon, phaloe thoo dats! Translation: Just for fun, follow the dots.
• Taking 3rd grade math standards aims test all over again! (epic fail!)
• Finding out if I have math anxiety- No doubt! I'm fearful about math!

Best part is I now can tell you that teaching is not just telling, it's showing. I was told today that my job is not going to get easier- dang it! lol but that's the joy of it! Keep your hands and feet inside at all times cuz it's going to be a bumpy ride with lots of laughs!
