I got my class schedule today, which will probably stay pretty much the same for the whole year. I’m teaching Senior 2 Math and Computers. I wasn’t necessarily thrilled at first. I wanted to teach Senior 1 again, but after I thought about it a little I realized that it would be nice to stay with the same girls again this year. Last year I didn’t even have enough time to learn all their names, so this will give me the opportunity to get to know them better, instead of starting over. I think it is also better for them. It took some of them a little bit of time to get used to my accent and stuff, so now they are already used to it. I guess this is probably better than breaking in a new group of girls. Also, with Senior 2 computers I can get them in the lab more for practicals. The curriculum has me teaching Microsoft Word and Excel, so I want to spend a lot of time in the lab, because you can’t learn this with a blackboard alone. This will give my computer lab project a lot of personal justification (if it ever gets off the ground, that is). This also works well with the fact that I want to teach them proper typing (if I have time). My schedule also has me with no classes on Friday again (after a little switching with other teachers). This is good because if I’m going somewhere for the weekend, I don’t have to worry about teaching classes on Fridays. As of right now, I have no idea when I’m supposed to start teaching. I probably won’t start until the beginning of next week. Some of the girls are still arriving and probably will for the next couple days. And for Math, especially, I don’t even know what is in the curriculum, so I’m not yet prepared. But it should all fall into place over the next few days.
