Not sure why some of my posts are missing but will look into this. I have started teaching again and have more classes than usual. Lots of students and a feeling that I am going to have a great semester. The first day of class was Monday and I had some interesting events, one guys came in his speedos and with out shoes...I was confused thinking he was taking a class in the pool but much to my surprise he was enrolled in Social Dance and just got confused on the dress code... I told him he had to go put some clothes on and he returned in his pajama pants perfect I can work with this. I also played a bit of charades with my asian population in trying to describe and explain slack, dress pants and dress shoes, loafers, I passed the test because they arrived with proper footwear yesterday!!
I taught SHAG yesterday or should I say introduced the basic not positive how many students will remember on Monday but a funny time was when a girl thought that I was explain Shag as a SLUT dance when I was saying SLOT dance, we laughed alot and I made a mental not that I have to speak clearly as English is not the first language for alot of my kids.
Looking at my class I could not believe that in 3 short years Drew will be on his way to college and i'm trying to prepare him. He has a strong schedule this year and teachers expectations are high which I appreciate but can you tell me why Chemistry has to be my new enemy wow I am trying and focusing on helping him in all the ways that I can, praying that God sees us through and trying to remember this is a school course and not life devastating. On another note he has a tutor that is super, i'm ordering him a smart-pen to help with note taking and lectures. We have a goal for the course and that is to finish with a B and I am determined, let the games begin!!
Excited about a friend from the DR that will arrive tonight and be staying for a few weeks, she will be hanging and helping and we are looking forward to having her.
Its time to get ready for class, I have my Latin dance this AM. Happy to put a few thoughts to words.
