Teaching

We started teaching last thursday. The kids were pretty bad. I'm teaching the younger group along with my roommates Chelsey and Makayla, also a girl named Abbie. since there where only 4 of us we had 9 kids each when we are supposed to have a max of 7 kids. it was pretty hecktick. Bonnie our head teacher yelled at collin and told him we could only teach seven kids. he said that this was how it always was. but bonnie persisted. a kid name Dan was supposed to be teaching ELE and thats why we only had 4 teachers in our group so bonnie pulled him out of that and him teach the little kids with us. needless to say friday went alot smoother then thursday the classes where much better behaved. believing that we had our students that we would be teaching we named them. come to find yesterday they switched up the classes on us. I got most of my kids and then I got 2 other ones. My kids are Gid named after Gidgidaniah in the tennis shoes series, then I have one named Steven, Mike, Peter he is really cute probably my best next to gid, Andrea, Sarah, and Nattile she is a total brat the worst girl of all the kids, last I have a kid named Jack the chinese teachers call him crazy it makes me feel so bad for the kid he is my worst kid but i really wanna work with him and get close to him.

I also teach a class in the morning. these are the preschool aged kids and they are hell. We only have 3 teachers and 6 kids each. Chelsey Abbie and I are the ones that teach these ones. My home group is pretty good. I named these ones Ann Marie like off of rescuers down under because she lookes like her, Kenzie she is my best and smartest kid, Stetson, Trason, Todd, and Boyd i think there has been a role reversal here. i'm the teacher and he is the smart mouthed little twerp but he is pretty fun to work with. i think that him and Ann Marie are close because I had to stick boyd in the chinese chair and she would get out of her seat and go and talk to him it was annoying! ok so after my home class I had Abbie's kids holy cow these kids are bad there is a kid in the group that just cries the whole time. then there is a kid that mimics him. they love throwing punches at each other. they wont stay in there seats. there is one that i named terror that is so cute he is such a suck up before school started he hung around our appartments and would just be addorable but he is so bad in class he just sits there and speaks chinese and eggs the other kids on. when i got this class yesterday i was ready to cry i pretty much decided to ignore them as long as they where sitting in their seats and i just worked with the girls not giving the boys any of the supplys unles they where quiet and said the name by the end of class they where more or less settled down. though it took 3 of us to get them to line up on the wall so we could rotate them to the next class. the last class was likened unto mine own pretty good considering the last one.
