first week

The first week is under my belt and I am excited! It was a great week and I am very content to have this job. I love the school and the fellow teachers, but even more I love my kids. There are 9 kids in my 6th grade homeroom and they are so sweet, fun, and ready to learn. Its kinda funny to realize the difference between 5th grade and 6th -- its huge. I am surprised actually. In 5th we ask alot of questions and my answers/demonstrations/instructions need to be really specific. They are really fun though. In 6th, they are really laid back and need to be challenged. As far as assignments, they really need to have interactive and involved with the work. So yeah this is what I have learned so far. I'll keep you updated as I am. haha
