Oh hai, didn't see you waiting there for a few months...Hello? -silence- -prods skeleton-. ^^ I've been SUPER busy lately. But I started blogging privately daily, so I'm going to try to pick up the pace with this here public blog.
My situation has changed since January. When I first started, I had two co-teachers. I taught 3rd and 5th with one of them, 4th and 6th with the other. I planned almost every lesson, my role in class was low to medium. I was learning, to give an excuse. After six months in January of 2010 I lost both of my co-teachers, one of which went on to be a homeroom teacher in 3rd grade and the other in 1st. The principal expects much out of English teachers, so nobody wanted to be one. This year my school hired an English conversationalist teacher as GEPIK increased the class load severely from 2 classes a week to 3. As a result, I have one teacher who teaches 4th and 5th with me, and the conversation teacher teaches 6th and 3rd. I'm fine with that, 6th graders are the most difficult to teach and the least interested. I also have a lesson plan from the previous year, so I really have much more free-time lately. So here's to posting more regularly...at least until August. Please ask me questions if you have any!
