Wow.
A lot has happened since my last entry, moreso between the time
kindles asked me about no updating, and attempting to that same day and now. Let's see that was um...sometime in September when I thought the idea of a frohawk would be cute. Tested it at home and realized my hair had gotten too long for it so it looked silly. Or maybe I did something wrong?
I miss visiting here and reading entries, keep in touch with friends.
So what happened why my entry was delayed and why I have dissapeared from the internets for such a long time?
Other than life, I happened to get a job expectely and unexpectedly.
I had been called for interview for a job I applied for in May as a summer job. There was a issue with two teachers in the class I am in now where they found out they wee constantly arguing with each other in front of the kids. So they both were suspended and this they new 2 new staff members for that class. So I was hired as a sub the first two weeks until last week when they hired me as a full time teacher.
Teaching PreK is completely different than what I am used to (K-6), there is more play involved than in kindergarten. Planning is done they day before you teach, unlike what I am used to which is planning ahead. And the lesson plan book is quite annoying. Plus there is a ridiculous amount of paperwork involved, mostly because the school I work for is sponsered through Head Start, who provides childcarefor low income families.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't there for the kids. They are a little crazy and a handful to deal with (3-5 yr olds) but it's mostly because for a month before I had gotten there they hand been going from sub to sub with no consistancy. So I am focusing on keeping a routine with them. I've also realized it won't be an overnight change either. It will take some time for my twenty kids. I think I just need to keep that in mind and stay positive as tiring and stressful as working there can be at times.
Now finally have a permanent assistant things should get a little better too. There were days no one showed up the last 2 weeks before.
Getting late, busy day tomorrow. Update later? Or you could just check my twitter until then.
