Wow What a Day!

Topic: The daily grind
Friday Morning: was too stuffed last night to log in and post an entry so here I am doing it now.

Man yesterday was hard work! Very little formal teaching time: lots of other stuff happening though.
Jumprope, production, art, cre. As can be imagined then the kids were all over the place with their excitement levels and concentration. But we coped.

I think the last session of the day was reasonably constructive. I think I managed to reinforce the point I was trying to make. I feel though that the kids need more practicing of some of these skills. I wish I was better at using time more effectively in my teaching.

I need to develop better strategies to not waste the little bits of "dead" time that do occur.

Another thing about yesterday is that there were times where I felt like I was just a whinging cruddy old teacher and that is not the type of teacher I want to be at all. I noticed comments comming out of my mouth which made me cringe. Wish I knew how to stop that from happening.

So today A day of lots of good work for the kids to get done. Try to catch up on the rotation we have missed this week.

Well got to get organised so catch you later
