Well this is the first blog where I have nothing exciting to write because all I did all night long was literally HOMEWORK. It was my last assignment due for the next month: Write a month long unit plan for your most difficult private lesson. Welp that wasn't hard to choose. That six year old girl is the only thing I dread in life. The. Only. Thing. And so I got to work. I wrote out a complete plan for EIGHT hour long classes. It took me all night long. But when it was finally finished, I felt like I'd created a masterpiece!
The thing is, it's not that I'm a bad teacher, it's just that I'm not that passionate about it. When I HAD to put the time in to create a unit plan, it turned out amazing. It had cute, creative games I made up, a tangible toolbox of sounds and vocab words/drawings, a structure, a format. I'm totally going to try to use it with her. Maybe then I really won't have one part of my life here that I don't like!?
So, thanks Homework. I know I blasted this teacher and her stupid busywork assignments, but every once in awhile something she says or makes us do really really helps me out! Sure, I wish I felt like that more than twice a month, but hey - it's something. :)
XOXO
