Teaching

Today was a great day in the classroom. I had one class really behind, cause we missed a day, so I worked double time with them today and caught them up. We learned numbers 1 through 20 and then by tens to 100. They did great.

In the other class, we played jeopardy to review.
It was a little difficult, because they have never heard of jeopardy in guatemala, but once they got the hang of it, they absolutely loved it. I remember jeopardy days in 6th and 7th grade, and remembered how much i loved them, so I thought my 6th graders would love it too. It was a HIT. And it was great review for them for everything we had learned so far.

Our director´s wife came in to observe my teaching today, and she told me she was impressed! After I was done, she said "Brianna, what a perfect personality you have to be a teacher! And it´s not even your major! Whats your major? Political science? You command the kids so well"

I was like, yes, duh, I know.
(haha kidding)
But in all honesty it felt really good to hear. Cause I never know how I am doing in comparison with other teachers, I just stand up there and flail my arms around and write on the board...
