Ok, so I am no longer the world's greatest coach. My boys had a game yesterday afternoon and lost, barely. They won the first game and then lost the last two, each by only 2 points! They really did well, especially considering that my two best players were not there. Yesterday was a very interesting day at school. Two boys decided to run away ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, I am the greatest coach in the world! My team is still undefeated, we are now 2 and 0. Yeah, I know, pride comes before the fall!!!! But I am not usually cocky like this so I figured just this once... The cool thing is that I have managed to gain the respect of these 7th and 8th grade boys! One of them even asked me if I was going to ( Read more... )

So far as a coach I have never lost a game!!!!! Yeah, I am the greatest volleyball coach ever. Ok, so I have only coached one game, but we did really well. I am coaching a 7ht and 8th grade boys team, a group of boys who have never played volleyball on a team before. I really like coaching, it is a really good stress relief after teaching all ( Read more... )

We went on a field trip today to hear the ( Read more... )

This weekend I get to go to St. Louis to see my family! I am so excited I get to see my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was a pretty great day!! Despite the bad mood with which I went to bed on Thursday night, I woke up bright and early on Friday morning at 5:00 feeling refreshed, haha. But really, it did end up being a really good day. First of all, as I was walking to my car to drive to school I saw that the Wind Symphony busses were still there. So ( Read more... )

I don't know which is more challenging, doing the chicken dance at a wedding after having a few, or with 32 third and fourth graders!!!!!! Either way it is pretty funny. :)

Some days would be much better if I just never got out of bed! Today was one of those days. By the time my alarm went off this morning, I had only been asleep for about 3 hours, but there is help for that, its called COFFEE!!! At school today I thought I taught two pretty good lessons, only to be given two full pages written on how they could ( Read more... )

Teaching is fun, but lesson planning is not! Two lessons down, two to go for tomorrow. Note to self, stop procrastonating.

This is my very first journal entry, so sorry if it sucks! Things have been pretty exciting lately. I am currently waiting to hear from a school in St. Louis about a job for next year. I'll keep you posted on any developments there ( Read more... )
