I love that I am teaching again. It is great to have a classroom and students. It is tiring and exhausting the first month of school. Establishing procedures and expectations is really important. The routine is oh, so important with students. They need to know where to put stuff, what to do, what to bring, etc...
Consequently, I feel like a broken record.
Student: What time do we get out of this class?
Teacher: The Bell Schedule is posted on the wall.
Student: What does it say?
Teacher: You tell me-please read it.
Student: Where do I turn in my assignment?
Teacher: In the basket labeled Period 2.
Student: I don't have a pencil/paper.
Teacher: Extras are located __________(there).
Student: Can I leave class early?
Teacher: No, thanks for asking.
Student:Where is my folder?
Teacher:In the Crate labeled Period 6 under the file with your name on it.
Student: What are we supposed to be doing?
Teacher: It is on the board. (after I had the students repeat the directions to me after giving them)
Oh, the life of a jr. high teacher. I LOVE IT!

Oh the joys! My 4th graders raise their hands but yell "Mrs Comer, Mrs. Comer." They can't QUIETLY raise their hand and wait to be called on...ugh!
Oh you poor thing!! Jr. High is tough! I subbed 2 times and said forget it!
Oh, I know how you feel!! It's like that with my 3rd graders, too! Another thing to add to the list, "I'm done, what do I do next?"
"Look on the board...it's listed right there."
...and so goes the life of a teacher each and every day, huh Teach??? Gotta Love It!!
I wish you were my jr. high teacher. You'd rock!
Love you too! Over UEA, lets get together with other girlies and have dinner or something. It would feel good to catch up!!!
