Tough day at school…I think everyone was tired and not ready to come back to school, kids and teachers. It was one of those days I said, “I don’t really want to do this teacher job today.” I love my kids I really do, but there’s a difference between classroom management, teaching and learning and just hanging out with your kids and being able to build relationships with them. I had a crazy time trying to keep my kids attention between recess and lunch and it was extremely frustrating. What amazes me though about kids is that even if I’m frustrated with them, most of them are still like coming up to me and giving me hugs, talking to me, asking me questions; I really see God in that, in their childlikeness. After lunch was mostly planning periods and practicing for the Christmas program with 7th and 5th grade. On that subject they may change the day yet again to either the 11th or the 14th, instead of the 9th, which was the date it changed to from the 16th. So we’re all over the board now. We had tutorias after school for science which went pretty good I think. After that we came home, watched some of Ten Commandments (LB’s favorite movie!), made chili dogs and platanos for dinner and relaxed.
