The first day of 8th grade all over again! I was nervous, but felt more prepared than I did last year. After the first few minutes of my first class, I calmed down a little. But 8 hours on your feet it tough! We didn't get any planning periods yesterday.
I had some funny stuff happen... like kids showing me drawings of Odie and Sonic the hedgehog. I think I laughed inwardly all day (when I wasn't screaming inwardly) because they are all so wonderfully awkward. I love it.
I work in a rural part of the community so there are lots of good 'ole boys and girls. Yesterday, when we were talking about places we'd one day like to visit, one of the kids in the back raised his hand and, me, expecting him to ask how to spell a certain country, asked him what he needed. He said..."Mrs. Berry, how do you spell bayou?" I giggled, but obliged and wrote his word on the board. Oh boy. We've got some culture to inject into these kids... but at least they're honest. :)
