My class was like night and day. It was a true blessing for everyone to be on task and quiet. I'm really lucky that my students are allowed to listen to music while they work!! So I have to stay after school right, I am a little confused about my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">importance</span> at this orientation b/c it sounds like all I am doing is being called out so the parents know who I am. Which is great but I wish I could have a booth so the parents could come by and talk to me. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">That's</span> enough of that. Well I have to go. Later!</span></div>Jenna's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04460400973804990738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857839315608684869.post-47877540698442385792009-01-29T06:31:00.000-08:002009-01-29T06:37:55.756-08:00<div align="center"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I am so tired and it is only 9:15. That is sad. I had the 8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">th</span> grade walk-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">thru</span> today and I get so nervous talking in front of people that I have not taught. I can talk to my students fine but others, well I just worry that I am going to leave something out and they wont want to take my class. Today students from other classes are coming to my classroom to work <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">on</span> the computers. I can't say no or I will be rude and it is in the class where I only have 7 students but still, it is my classroom and I feel that they are going to think they can always use it. Anyway, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">that's</span> enough for now. It's just going to be a really long day. I dressed in my suit for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">tonight's</span> 8<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">th</span> grade orientation (so I will be here until after 7:00) and nice shoes and my feet are killing me. I am going to put on my flip flops the first chance I get!! I have a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">PLU</span> meeting at 10:00 so there goes half of my break, oh wait, I thought I was finished complaining, I guess not. Well I have to go explain to my accounting students how to calculate the beginning capital b/c they don't get it. I can't blame them, I had a hard time getting it myself when I was in high school. It is a very challenging class so I try to give them a break every so often. Well got to go!</span></div>Jenna's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04460400973804990738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857839315608684869.post-85184881340527726832009-01-28T11:35:00.000-08:002009-01-28T11:41:20.125-08:00What to do?<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">So it is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">definitely</span> cold/flu season. I have had so many students out today. A total of 17 out of 100. My 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">th</span> had 8 absent and 12 here. I ended up letting them catch up on their notebook. AKA listen to music and explore the many different games on-line. I don't feel to bad about this because they always work hard for me and they are still using Technology. Today seems like it has been so gloomy. I can't wait to get home and get into my comfy clothes. I think I will be taking projects home to grade. But it sure beats sitting in my classroom!! Well <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">that's</span> it for today. I weird b/c I like Thurs. since it is one more day closer to Friday!! I will blog soon!! I'm out!</span></div>Jenna's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04460400973804990738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857839315608684869.post-62719365440532310712009-01-28T05:23:00.000-08:002009-01-28T06:00:16.373-08:00So here it goes!<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">This is my first blog ever. I decided that this would be a great way to talk about things that are going on in my life without sounding like I am always complaining. One of my new years resolutions is to be a more positive person. So here it goes! I am a high school teacher in Social Circle. I love my job!! It can be hard and challenging at times but I still enjoy what I do. It is even better on pay days. See, I went from working over 50 hours a week and making less that 250-275 to making, lets just say <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">a lot</span> more. So I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">truly</span> blessed for the job I have! I do drive an hour one way but it is worth it because I work with some amazing people. They are not only my co-workers, but my friends too. So <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">that's</span> just a little about myself. I will blog again soon!</span><br /><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Jen Jen</span></div>Jenna's Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04460400973804990738noreply@blogger.com1
