Surviving the first month....

Well, it's official-I'm done with the first month of student teaching! Woot woot! Only two more to go. I'm enjoying my sixth grade class a lot more than I thought I would. Here's why;

1: They are a lot more independent
2: The girls are the sweetest thing ever!
3: The sixth grade staff is amazing
4: I'm actually decent at sixth grade math
5: I love my cooperating teacher
6: The kids make me laugh everyday, seriously, if you think your life has drama, just ask a 6th grader-they have wwaaayyy bigger 'issues' than you :) They also know everything, so I'm probably learning more from them than they are me :)

There are definitely better days than others, and if anyone knows how to deal with sixth grade boys, I would love the advice! They can be quite the little stinkers sometimes. I'm just hoping that I can make it through the next two months without getting sick again-I've been sick twice since we started!!! Those kids are out to get me!!! ha ha But I am learning a lot everyday from my wonderful cooperating teacher and can't wait to have the class to myself. I LOVE teaching!

You could talk to Kyran for starters and see how to deal with 6th graders :)
