TGIF

I am so glad it is Friday. I have never been one to really long for a weekend...but since teaching highschool is not turning out to be so wonderful...I am happy to see the end of the week. I have been thinking about my unhappiness with my situation...and I have come to some conclusions...

1. I think part of my problems come from being used to teaching 6th grade...I am not in the middle school any more and I have yet to really adjust to that.

2. 9th graders should not be sitting in groups...so now we are in rows.

3. Being uncomfortable in a situation forces us to change and adapt...which I am trying to do.

I think that teaching high school will end up being good once I figure out the correct balance of things...discipline, expectations, independence...etc. These things will just take time and I have to be patient and keep trying. So...I do have a light at the end of my very dark tunnel...even if it is only a pin-prick of light at this point!

So...Happy Friday...and here's to a 3 DAY WEEKEND!!!!
