After a lengthy break I was more than eager to get back to the hustle and bustle of teaching. My teaching load is also much different this term than last. I have gone from being predominantly a secondary teacher (teaching Grades 8 and 10) to a primary/secondary teacher and I think I like the change.
Right now I am teaching computer classes to Grades 3-9. I also teach Grade 8 English, Math, and RE and Grade 9 Civics. In a couple of weeks I will begin coaching a sports team (either basketball or football) and probably will be involved with another club as well. At my other school I teach computer lessons to Grade 8s and 9s as well as the staff and am involved in a Bible Club and a Games Club.
The first week of school is always quite hectic. Not all the students bother showing up till the second week so mostly things are just review. The school also did not hire a couple of teachers until a week into the term so I was busy filling in wherever I could. This meant I got to spend a lot of time with the Grade 3s and 4s. This was lots of fun. I am really enjoying my experiences as a primary teacher so far. The secondary classes so far haven't been as great. The Grade 8s are a little less disciplined than last year's bunch so I'll have to crack down on them a little bit. Hopefully they will straighten out and the term will be as good as the last one, or even better!
