one week to go
I don't know why it is that I only ever find time to write on a Friday. Actually, I shouldn't even be writing now because I should be getting ready for PE, but such is life. I don't like PE. It is my least favourite class to teach because I feel like I have the least amount of control over the kids. The unit we are doing right now is on striking and fielding, and we have to do it outside, so the wind takes my voice. They take forever to change into their PE kits, and they never stop talking. Especially since it is after lunch. I think if it was before lunch it wouldn't be so bad.
I had one kid come in from lunch the other day and ask me if we were going home now. I said "do we ever go home right after lunch?" "yes" came the response. Whatever. If you want to go home, please, be my guest. I can't handle much more of this craziness anyway.
We have "meet the creature" night next thursday. There is only one kid who I am not looking forward to meeting her mom. This was the same mom who told her daughter that she didn't like me because I wasn't the teacher that they were supposed to have. Unlucky break for them I guess. She is rude to me on the playground, and I am just not looking forward to having to defend myself and her child to her for five whole minutes!!!!
Ryan helped me put up two beautiful displays yesterday. I will have to get a picture and put them up, because I am so proud. They are fantastic. Too bad it took me six weeks to get them up!!! There is still a lot of stuff lying around my classroom that needs to be dealt with. Perhaps this afternoon is a good time to do it. Oh yeah. PE. Darn.
Mid term is in just one week. Five more school days until I get to sleep in. I really have respect for teachers who do this for a living and still have children of their own. I wouldn't be able to handle all the work and having a demanding child at home. It's a lot of pressure!! Not to mention a drain on me. But enough about me. I am just counting the days! Is that a bad sign as a first year teacher??
I should go get ready for PE. Love you all.

That's ok if you only post once a week. Things are getting busier, that is the way of autumn. Glad you've got a break coming, love you, Julie
elaine - i know it's been awhile since i posted last, however i do read regularly, glad things are looking up for you, keep trusting, your adjusting, getting used to things over there, and your kids are getting used to you, i see they are still a handful at times, part of the job my dear, every job has it's good and it's bad, such as life, a rollercoster, its how you deal with the difficult things that will make you that much better person, friend and teacher
Thanks ryan for the update, even though i was half asleep it was so appreciated :)
others: I know some of you want updates with him too, personaly it would be nice but having spoken to him and getting email i sense his heart is still there and he is getting used to his new life as well, give him a bit more time it will come, he will when he is ready, and he will when he has something worth mentioning, having said that, you may all be feeling i am sticking up for him, perhaps but he's a very friend and i owe him alot :)
