Finished with Week 2

Another successful week of teaching. I am sorry if this blog becomes my journal for teaching. But honestly its the only thing that I have going on in my life to talk about. This was a short 4 day week I am starting to love the shorter weeks. Things went good I actually started to teach in our content. I noticed this week that my favorite students are the ones that are always getting into trouble with other teachers. They are so fun to me, I feel like they are really respecting me and doing what they are suppose to be doing in my class. Maybe its because I am younger and I relate to them better. My one student is in a gang, he said that he had the most dean referrals in his school last year, but I think he is the best. He actually changed his schedule around so that he has me for 2 periods. His in my Food and Nutrition class and then is my student Aide during my food production class. Hopefully I can keep him out of trouble! Another exciting thing that happened this week, On Friday teachers dress down and wear the official desert oasis apparel to support all the games for the weekend, and the football players pick teachers every week to wear their jersey, this week I was picked so I was sporting a #53 jersey all day, it really made my day, the student came in that morning and said "Ms. Tracy, I would like you to wear my jersey today!" I was so happy, I had been looking forward to the day one of them asked me. The jerseys are way small! The coach had told us before hand that we didn't have to wear they jersey, that we could hang it up or pin it to ourselves. My jersey fit but it was tight!! the teacher next door to me was like you shouldn't wear that its too tight, and I was like I don't care I am wearing it he asked me to wear it. I knew it was tight but i didn't think it looked ridiculously too tight. Later that day I had two men that work for the school, the graphic arts guy and the security guy tell me how good i looked in the jersey. That made my day! So another week has gone by and I still love what I am doing! This week I get my first official pay check! You have no idea how happy I am! Oh ya I also signed up to work the home football games, I am getting paid $10 an hour to take tickets at the football games! I love my life..
P.S. We did win the football game! 27-0 I guess you could say I am good Luck!
