Woah what a day
Mood:  caffeinated
Topic: The daily grind
Well yesterday was a really hard day! I was so all over the place emotionally as well as lacking energy.

I think my teaching was quite ok, my management of the students behaviour was not up to scratch. I managed to let them take me for a ride a few times. Well need to just stay really aware of this over the next few weeks to the end of term.

Man I am feeling more refreshed today, think a reasonable sleep makes a difference. Got a real suprise yesterday evening in that I have managed to get an interview for a teaching positioon. My first teaching position interview: nervous as hell.

Today is on of those days where I hardly get to see the kids. With specialists, production and CRE there is little time left for "normal teaching", well I just have to do my best to make the most of the situation.

Think I have got the first hour for reading rotations which at least means I can get a good block of literacy teaching happening. The downside is of course that with this grade and so many of the kids arriving late it means that some of the kids will miss out.

Yesterday one of the kids came to me saying they did not want the school term to end cause they did not want me to leave. Made me feel pretty good I must admit. I hoipe it is because they see me as a positive imput in their lives rather than as a soft touch!

Oh well time to get organised for another day.
