Wednesday Jan 20
It has been raining all day and that finally melted the snow.
I got my test results today from the general health screen. Everything looks good. Except I have low Iron and a high ESR. I don't know what the ESR is. They said something about inflamation. I may make an appointment later to see what that means.
My first class was good We had a writing lesson about choosing a topic that interests you…did a good job…few mins of free time.
2nd was good..2 students.. did a good job on 2 writing lessons…play, memory, number words, feeling words…then we reviewed and played hangman.
3rd class was a nightmare..They were talking to each other and making paper airplanes and playing with their phones. Only one person read all the time. The rest wouldn’t read or weren’t even on the right page. This class is frustrating.Standing up in the classroom and not saying anything and just waiting doesn’t work for this class. They keep on doing what they were doing. The one student who was good, and read along even when no one else was got 2 stickers. The other students were asking for some and told them they were bad. Tried to show pics on powerpoint and they try to press escape….i didn’t let 2 students see the picture bc they pressed esc. I’m making a harder version of the test for them on Friday. I’ll give the good student the easy version. They start packing up with 5 mins left. I wasn’t going to let them leave early!
I wish all my classes could be like my last class. They are so sweet. We had our newspaper class…today’s articles were about: a cat stationmaster, most admired woman and man in America, tallest building in the world, and Oysters. They are always good in class. They read along and write the answers.They liked the picture of the cat. One of the boys was pretending to rub the cat.haha. they loved the pic of Obama. He kept looking at the obama picture and calling out “Obama” in an excited voice. All of my students love Obama.
Here's the cat-Its a stationmaster in Japan
