Career Study

My little sixth graders are awesome. :)

For Career Study, I decided to stay with Mrs. T teaching language arts at the middle school. My first three days have been AWESOME. I used to only be there from 1:00 to 2:30, so I got to know her 8th period class and her homeroom really well, but now since I'm there the entire day, I'm getting to know about 100 students. And I so do love getting to know people. :)

It's great too, cause Mrs. T and I have been working together ever since November, and so we've developed a really good tagteam approach to teaching and managing the class. For example, today the kids had a big test to take. When each class started, Mrs. T collected homework and while she was giving directions for the test, I graded and put the grades into the computer. Then I moved to the back table, where I worked on one of the activity drawing sheets Mrs. T had laid out for kids to do after they finished the test.

As they started handing tests in, I graded the multiple choice section and then passed them to Mrs. Thorpe and we worked on grading the essays together.

I don't know if that sounds like a lot of fun but it really was. :)
