Through the school year - 2/5/08

Even though teaching is fun, it becomes hectic and crazy. OH yes, the students have a blast until that day comes when the class has to sit down and not participate because of those 2 students that cannot be quiet and listen to directions. This really irritates the students that are great listeners and care about learning new activities and games. But then again, when you get done explaining to the class that we need to be good listeners, show respect, and good sportsmanship, those lovely students start talking again. Then I think to myself, "what's going on????" It is going to be one of those days! Today was one of those days!
