First Week of Classes!

Classes started Monday! My schedule is a little rough this year - 36 hours!!! But, it went really well. I felt really prepared and I think I made a good impression. It helped being organized. I gave them the class rules, the grading policy, and a student inventory. We decorated folders for their portfolios, too. We started Thursday with more classwork and diagnostic tests. I felt good about my lessons because there was good participation from all of them, so it made me feel like I had planned well, or that they enjoyed the activities. I hope so. I don't know if they were fun, but at least they all participated!! That's a good sign, right? I want to have daily activities and less lectures, but I hope they will learn the information that way, too. Wish me luck!!
