Week One

So, week one of my comics workshop.

It was kinda stressful but slowly got better.  Day one was by far the worst.  The kids in my workshop are by and large good kids, and I know most of them.  However, I do have some large personalities (and large voices).  That first day was kind of a nightmare, honestly.  One boy, who had some behavior issues last year--nothing bad--has been hit with fourth grade attitude.  He was all around loud and rude, and made more than one comment about cartoons being stupid (or something to that effect--it's kind of hard to remember thanks to being upset).  He and a few other kids were just plain obnoxious for the entire hour.

Workshops Aplenty

Every year, the entire school participates in something called "Brain-based Workshops".  These workshops are meant to stimulate our kiddos' brains and give them more focused support in certain subject areas.  Workshops range everywhere from mathematics to drama, depending on each teacher's choice.  I wasn't able to participate in this last year as I left in the afternoons to teach at the kindergarten, but I'm pumped up for it this year!
