This Week...

This week we didn't really have a schedule for most of our classes. Yet in one of my classes, we continued to do work throughout the week. I realized that although most students will complain about the extra work, it really does benefit us in the end. Though math has never really been my favorite subject, it now has become that I enjoy and understand.

Mrs.Orr is one of the most dedicated teachers I have seen. She opens her classes up most days after school to students who are struggling and need a little push. I have never felt like I couldn't ask a question in her class because she makes it known that she wants to help us learn. I know that's not something you can learn in things such as a textbook, but I do think it is something valuable that we should all experience sometime in our schooling.

This week we learned in class about discipline. Mrs.Powell came in and talked about how to handle certain situations in the classroom. She told us about how some kids can get out of control and then you have to act accordingly to fix the problem. Also, Shelby told some pretty interesting stories in which the class replied to pretty nicely.

We worked on our lesson plans that are due this Thursday, and I chose Mrs.Borchers for my teacher.

This week was kind of rough as to what we were learning. Mrs.Cantrell handed us a paper with many projects that we'll be doing over the course of this year. Though many weren't hard, I know it's going to take a while so I need to keep myself organized with due dates and such.

Also, this week I learned that grades will never just be handed out and if a problem comes up, you have to find a way to solve it by yourself. Even though you know some teachers may have lost your work, if they don't believe you then you just have to find a way to do it because in the end you'll be the one with the bad grade on your report card.

So now, I'm having to do multiple assignments over, but I'll get it done!

This week...

So, this is the week before Thanksgiving break. Our cooperative learning experience was due this week. I did mine with my mom's class. It was more challenging than I had expected. The kids wouldn't listen and they would get up even when I told them to stay down and be quiet, so it was definitely not the experience I was expecting.

Also, I am learning about time management in many of my classes because I have been doing a lot of procrastination lately and that really isn't working out well for me so we're going over in time management in one of my classes which should be really useful in the future.

So that's about it!
