Day One

Today (Monday) was my first day teaching in a small town outside Lethbridge. I actually really LIKE the teaching part. It's the planning and thinking up ideas on my own part that I don't like. I am really lost as to where the heck I'm going this whole term and I know that I have to think about it and decide for myself. It's easier when I'm just following somebody else's plans!

Everyone in my Language Arts class has a MacBook. Except for me! My students are using macs and I don't have one! The school doesn't issue them out to PS3 students either, and I must admit... that isn't helpful.

I have a desk in my language arts classroom. It's the one I spend more time in, and it's a little quieter than the music room, so I spend more of my SPARE time in there too. As you can see, it's an awesome old school desk, with a spot for an inkwell (or computer cord, I suppose). Oh, you can't see the inkwell hole. It's covered by something on my desk. Also awesome is the globe. I put it there to make my desk look teachery. I think it worked.
