What does it say about a teacher when one begins to count down the days to ones next vacation time?

Had an interesting day at work. Some fun, some reflection and so many exhaustive moment.

I love teaching

In the Classroom

Back to work and the daily grind... I have the practice of getting things right... Met my new students today,...

Have a lot of planning to do for the upcoming classes. Really have my work ahead of me but I am just taking it all in strides.

School Days

School is back in session but I am so out of it... Haven't began my individual planning as yet... Just not felling quite school like at the moment...

Today was a bit of fun with my class and few introduction...

Orientation

School had its' orientation of new students today. All beaming and getting ready for their new adventures into Secondary/High School.... So wonderful to see their smiles and so so happy faces.

For the first time I became part of the Book Loan scheme which I enjoyed thought it was a lot of work. This scheme is actually a great one especially considering the prices attached to books and not every parent or household can afford for promising students...

New Approaches

With vacation in hand I have been experimenting with different ways of teaching to maximize my students learning..... 

I want to be able to reach all student so as not to place or portion into groups... Learning who they are beyond just behaviour but to actually study and understand the whys..

A teacher's job is always progressing.......

RE-Tooling

In another 3 weeks its back to the grind of school... Have been trying to find new ways of approaching my homeschooling..

Haven't began my actual lesson plans but have been thinking of new ways of presenting necessary moment.

Vacation Adventures

With school out, I have been thoroughly enjoying the vacation with my nieces and nephews... Hiking and enjoying the fun of going to the river....

Alongside I have worked on my students SBAs and had a few drinks here and there but nothing to crazy... 

Got a copy little fishes from R but alas the first few bottles died, forgot to change the water... Have a new batch... I do hope

Kind of Vacation

School is out but not on vacation as yet.. not really. Have so much going on. Between working on SBAs, working with the kids and working on my home...

Have finished for the moment

Changes

Sometime we get to the point where we have to just make the decisions that are for our best and let the rest side where they may...

Slowly I am enjoying being the true me that I see in my head mind... In my thoughts... I am becoming me....

Challenges

At school things are becoming quite messy. I am not enjoying the back and forth that is happening.... Hopefully it ends soon...

Had my students under much work this week. It was all a lot of fun and I quite enjoyed it... Had no glasses as I lost them...

New addition to the staff that has knowledge of my personal life...But I won't allow myself to be annoyed or disturbed by M presents....

Figuring it all out......

Schooling

School has reopened this week. I was totally unprepared. Yet the love of what I do got me through it. I made it to Friday and so far it has been ok.

I came with a new bold hair cut that met with every reaction possible by the staff and students. Yet I endured the weak.

This term my goals center around being a better teacher, more relatable and fun strict when needs be.

Have already given homework, reading assignments and projects to begin that have been met with the jeers and unhappiness of my young minds.

Yet through it all I have loved my little ones, my teenager... The little minds that I will shape to love or to have the subjects I teach.

Vacay Time

So happy to be on a break from the hassle of school.

Sometimes students forget that you are not meant to be their friends but to be there mentors and teacher....

Today out of rudeness a student had to be disrespectful and paid the penalty....

Teaching Fun

It's the new school term and I am having fun in some aspects of my teaching... Particularly when my students are able to understand and get the information that I am presenting to them...

I find myself saying... Perhaps I am oversimplifying this topic.... Perhaps I am oversimplifying this subject....  Perhaps...Just perhaps...  Maybe because my students are loving my classes too much.. What can I do? 

New School Term

Happy 2016

The new school term has restarted. The first 2 days were spent in parent meetings, 4th and 5th... This was perhaps the best part of the term so far. An opportunity to meet and speak with parents thus fostering an understanding of students' environment away from school.

Most of the actual teaching days were spent doing revision and allowing students to reassess themselves, readjust and to close off the past term.

Next week the real teaching begins.....
