We've now completed both an A day and a B day! I've met all my students, and they are delightful. Today in class I took "mug shots" of all the students: each student wrote his or her name on a piece of card stock and then held it up so I could get a photo of the face with the name. Hopefully, I'll be able to learn their names before Christmas!! I have a very difficult time learning every student's name. It turns out that people generally dislike having their photos taken. I thought it was just me who disliked it so intensely!We also did "disclosure documents" to the point of nauseous repetition. I'm sure students dislike these as much as teachers and parents, but they are necessary to protect the students from not knowing what a teacher's policy is. Mine are posted on my website, and the administration also has a copy of them!
Despite being very tired, I've enjoyed these past 2 days. Being in front of the class reminds me why I love my job. It's all about the energy and ideas that the students have. They are so unique and clever. The future of America's so bright, I might have to wear shades!!
