Classes are better, for the most part. Minus one, where all of the students:
  1. Agree we're not learning anything
  2. Agree we're not being taught
  3. Are bored to tears.

Last class I spent an hour playing tic tac toe because there was nothing else to do. Sadly, I learned that I can't really beat myself at that game. It's pointless. Kind of like the class.

Began observations yesterday, three hours in a first grade class. One potential trouble maker was quite cute, especially when I asked if he would be my special library buddy and show me how to choose and check out books. He then sat beside me instead of getting in trouble. Back in class, he told me, "I like you. You're nice."

Very sweet.

It's great and I'm loving the teaching. But I'm so damned tired.

So tired.

Goodnight.
