After returning from FBLA, it was good to be back up front teaching again. The students greeted me with that they were glad that I was back which made me feel good. I do enjoy teaching these young people. They have so much to offer and I am glad that I can be a part of their lives at this time.
On Friday, all of the students wanted to stop doing their work about ten minutes before the class was over. It was like they were already for the weekend or something. Even the substitute teacher said he noticed this. It was difficult to keep them going until the end of the period. I know that this will happen from time to time and you just have to keep on top of them.
What I would change if I could start the week over would be to keep the students on tasks on Friday. I know that they just wanted to relax. It has been a long time since they have had a break from school and they are at the stage of being ready for Spring Break. As a teacher I know you must keep them on task at all times which at times is a challenge.
