More changes...
Monday was my first day of actually prepping for a full course-load. It wasn't that bad and I felt like I could manage prepping 2 or 3 chapters every Monday...
That was until Tuesday rolled along. I arrive to my meeting with my civics/ESL teacher only to find out that the schedule has been changed... YET AGAIN! So, I've had my schedule changed now 3 times in a month. I remember a time when that would have severely frustrated and caused me a lot of anxiety. Now, however, I found myself laughing... the situation with Dearborn is the funniest thing ever. And yet, I'm not a student there. My success in future education doesn't depend on having a stable school now... my students, however, may be adversely affected by it and that does worry me.
Alright, so, at least a solution was arrived at reasonably quickly this time. I will be with 7th grade geography, then 8th grade civics/ESL, and then 6th grade ancient civilizations. Yeah, I now work with every grade from Pre-K through 8th. This is actually pretty awesome. If I get the City Heroes team leader, I'll then work with every single grade... *crosses fingers*
In afterschool, we started the PEPSI program this week. Parts of it worked really well and parts worked less well. I just hope that the kids got it and start using good sportsmanship. In addition to our sportsmanship stuff, we also have to prepare for a Nutrition and Wellness event to take place the last week in November... Yeah.
In final news, my classroom partner left City Year... that's all I'm gonna say here.
And so things have started actually happening and I've gotten into the swing of things, despite being moved around a lot. I'm really happy to be with City Year and I think I'll probably end up doing a second year.
