LOVING IT!!!!!

So, it is my third week at Northen Middle school and my second week teaching classes. The past two weeks I have only taught two classes a day. They were the 6th graders and they were also, the biggest classes. One has 24 and the other has 33. I really enjoyed them and I still do, but it is so much work having that many kids in one class. Especially since we started sewing and they all need help. I am only one person and cannot help them all at once. I do not know how kari (my coop) does it. Luckly though she has been helping me some. They are going to be working on the machines starting tomorrow, and then on Moday when Kari is not their they will be going over their puppet. They are going to be making a puppet by hand and then creating a pencil case using the machine. Tomorrow, they are going to have a quiz on the parts of the machine, sewing safety, and sewing vocab. The students were so scared when I told them this, and I felt awful. One even came after school to talk about it. I thought that was so cute. I am learning some of their names, though it is taking longer than I wanted it to. I know more of the 8th and 7th graders, which is because they are very small classes less than 15 for each of the 7th graders and less than 10 for the 8th graders. I like the 7th and 8th graders much more than the 6th graders. Though some of the 6th graders are super cute and nice, so I cannot help but enjoy them. Next, week I am taking over all of her classes, which means that I will be teaching 6 classes a day. Two 8th grade, then two 6th grade, and finally two 7th grade. The 7th and 8th graders are either going to be making an apron or a dress. The dresses are going to go to "little girls of africa". This is an organization that sends dresses to the girls in Africa, since the girls over there do not have any. Girls are not as "good" as the boys are, so they just get the boys old clothes. A lot of the students have choosen to make the dresses, even a lot of the boys. I was talking to this one boy, and when I told him about the dresses he got so excited. It was so nice to see the boys wanting to help, and to see them feeling bad for the girls. It really made my day seeing them all wanting to help. I am looking forward to helping them make the dresses and arpons. I am also, super excited to be teaching all of her classes. I am so happy with where I am and with my coop. I know that a lot of my friends hate students teaching and are not enjoying it at all. I however, am in love with every min of it. I look forward to getting up in the morning and going to class. Yes, it is early and yes I am tired by the end of the day, but it is still fun. This is what a job is supposed to be like and I am so happy I am in the profession that I am in. Ahh!! Well that is it for now, I love and Miss You all!!! If you have questions jsut ask them and I will be sure to answer them. Until Next Time......
