Let
me preface this by saying that I’m really pleased with my classes this year. My
challenging kids from last year are nicely distributed amongst all of my
periods and the mix of 7th and 8th graders is fantastic! The
ideas and techniques I gleaned from my Pinterest and YouTube explorations have
proven to be very effective.
But…
It seems that the honeymoon period is truly over and the kids are starting to
test boundaries. Today the several classes were overly talkative and I had to
raise my voice to talk over them and quiet them down… L I’m feeling a little discouraged about this,
but I think that if I stay strong and tough now, it’ll set us up for a good year.
Here’s hoping!
