Actually... there are no hurricanes or earthquakes... just flooding!! Check out the photo above. It has been week filled with peculiar weather. Snow Monday night, leaving us with a 2 hour delay for school on Tuesday. Pouring down rain yesterday and today... leaving us with insurmountable amount of water on the roads and grounds. What a week! The Salem-Keizer School District declared that :
It has been quite the week to be back at the Middle School! On another note I helped out in the ESL Newcomer class, and supported my ESOL cooperating teaching in the ESL II class. The ESL class has been discussing natural disasters, and it was quite fitting for this weeks turn of events. Most students wrote about flooding today! haha.
I also led the warm-ups for the last two periods of the day (The classes I will be taking over in two weeks!). The first class had more students and were more willing to volunteer. They stayed focused and quiet even when my cooperating teacher stepped out for a moment. The other class had less students because most were picked up by their parents. Even though it was smaller I had to pick on students to participate for the warm-up, and when my cooperating teacher stepped out they were more talkative. I will get more classroom management practice with the three classes I will be teaching. :) I feel that I am ready to start teaching, and I am looking forward to it. Time to start planning lessons and getting organized with information, grading, papers, lessons, activities, etc.
