First Lesson!

So today I taught my first "mini-lesson". I had to give a pre-spelling test to 5th hour Intermediate Comp over some words that are commonly misspelled. (misspell was actually one of the words!) I was lucky because my CT gave the same quiz during the 2nd hour class, so all I had to do was copy what she did. :-p I think that it went pretty well, even though some of the kids were a little too talkative and I was being too nice. Haha. Anyway, I teach another small lesson tomorrow, but to both sections. Scary!

New Teacher Orientation

So the past 2 days have been new teacher orientation at Naperville Central and they were so much fun! I never realized how much stuff NCHS actually offers...they make Wheaton South look horrible, and I thought our school was pretty good. NC has a huge rock climbing wall, a pool that offers a kayaking class, flower arranging, a high ropes course (rope bridges and such suspended from the ceiling in the gym), an auto department that will fix staff cars (we only have to pay for parts...$8 oil change!) and to top it all off, the people are so much fun. I now know that my ultimate goal is to get hired there.... :-)
