Aimee’s World Tour

Could it have gone any worse?  Sweating, literally sweating in front of my class as the vice director (Ellie) watched.  What kind of idiot am I? At the end, Ellie was like next time you can turn on the AC and I’m like ‘oh hahaha I’m gonna go fall in a hole now.”  So the next class I was workin that AC but unfortunately the very adorable Jaslyn is like, “cold, teacher, I’m cold.”  “what? OH cold.  OK”  Seriously – how can you be cold?!!  Can’t you see I’m dyin’ here?  Probably not because all of you weighs the same amount as my left thigh.  Attention span.  WOW. I totally changed my approach for the second class but I’m gonna have to swallow my pride and say teaching isn’t as easy as it looks.  Later I taught math and we did these worksheets called Orda.  They’ve got their numbers down but I think the dittos on finding the acorns werent a hit.  They’re like why do I care what an acorn is?  Of course they all drew one when I told them they’d get a sticker!  hehe.  They were really shy this am probably because Richard was a cool teacher and now he’s gone.  But of course they resumed their ADD habits.  I think it’s just gonna take some time to get the hang of this and that’s normal.  And I do have THE worst behaved class in the school.  I did raise my voice very loud at the end of the day – it was awesome. They stopped dead in their tracks.  Ellie gave me some feedback on my first day and overall I did ok.   I have no time to proof read this but gotta catch the bus!
