Compared to last week, this week was ten times better. The kids behaved and actually listened and payed attention, I was very proud. Nothing extraordinary really happened last week, everything went routine as usual. The only difference was that one class was all about bullying, and the whole week was dedicated to anti bullying. This just makes me remember when I was back in kindergarten getting to dress up in crazy socks, or dress up as a super hero for the week. Or just discuss about bullying. Luckily both schools I've been to have really had no bullying what so ever. I'm not quite sure about bullying at Thomas Edison. I haven't seen anything that bad except kids being kids in the sense that they will hit each other now and then but that's it, nothing long term. But at the same time I'm also only in a kindergarten class.
My first grade class is doing well also. I'm doing the same thing with them, just having them read to me. I think they did a lot better two weeks ago in reading because last week I saw a few kids not knowing easy words. Hopefully though, they pick up the slack in this upcoming week. I have seen a great improvement in following directions during physical education, and the teacher only has to tell them once what to do. Hopefully the stay like this the rest of the year. And I'm looking forward to working this week.
