Over the Hill and Still Sane!
I'm just proud as punch to announce that I just completed Week 6 of my 12 week student teaching experience. It wasn't a bad week except for the tummy aches, and the stress of unfinished paperwork. Oh and I can't leave out the detention I gave when a Hispanic student called me a dirty word in Spanish, the kids doing 'the wave' across the classroom when they think I'm not looking, or the Valentine card I confiscated that burped when you opened it. How can anyone not love Junior High? (No sarcasm intended) I'm actually really enjoying my student teaching. I have really sweet kids for the most part, so my biggest discipline problem is chatter. I've only really butted heads with one kid (dirty-Spanish-word-boy Victor). It's wonderful. So I just want to say to all those of you who read this and haven't student taught as of yet, it's not anywhere near as scary as BYU-I professors make it sound!

The foreign exchange student I had from Spain while growing up taught me a few phrases you could give back to little Victor. Let me know if you need them.
Good to hear that you are positive about the experience inspite of the immaturity of the age group.
I have never heard about kids doing the wave in class.
Wow. I remember when all those junior high traits were all something I would have considered pretty fun. (especially the burping valentine.)
