I need you all to keep in mind that before I got this gig, I had never taught before in my life. And math is was not my major. Now, I have not been having a problem explaining the work to the students because I had up to PreCal in college and a couple of higher maths in high school. This allows me to relate to my students a lil better. However, my fellow math teachers (thank the heavens) have been faithfully providing me with notes and such for my Algebra I and Geometry classes. Unfortunately, no one has been giving me or helping me to figure out what to do for my PreAlg classes. This is a boisterous bunch. And as one of the other teachers says, “keep in mind they are taking PreAlg in high school, so just pick something and teach it.” I don’t quite feel comfortable with that statement…or even THINKIN’ bout taking that action. My mentor just happened to come in today during my biggest class (30 students…all desks full) and helped me out ALOT. I feel a little better having talked with her and received some sort of guidance. I HATE TO GO INTO A SITUATION UNORGANIZED. And from this chapter on, I shall be in charge of what’s going down with this class. Which means I shall follow the chapters in what ever order I see fit.
In other news….I am absotively posolutely smitten with an old friend of mine and it is driving me crazy. I have a major situation going on here and a code that is VERY close to being broken. I don’l like the sound of either one of those phrases. I shall have a lot of praying to do and limited speaking of that particualr situation as my blog is public and certain ppl in my life might be affected.
PS: did I mention I absolutely LOVE my BlackJack? Now, if I could just get some Mac hacks!!!
