I had the entire week to prepare for my seminary week this week, and I got nowhere fast! It’s hard for me to get much done in our house. There’s no peace and quiet, and there’s always something that needs to be done. Even though most of the time, the mess is left to build up, still, I can’t feel productive in this place. The tv is constantly blaring and I try to spend time with Tehani, and make sure she gets what she needs. So, I tried to pull a lesson together based on what I read and learned, but I couldn’t keep the lesson within the time frame we’re alloted, so I ended up just using a lesson suggestion from our teacher’s manual. So last night, I restarted my lesson around 10 and worked on it until 2:30am putting everything together, making my visuals, and all.
Today’s lesson wasn’t a total failure, but I wouldn’t call it acceptable. I felt the students weren’t engaged in the lesson. I feel they look at me and think that I’m weird, and boring, and they don’t like me. AAAAHHHH! I need some time to myself. A LOT of time so I can prepare a good lesson and figure out the best way to deliver it. I feel like I’m useless as their teacher sometimes. And I fear that they compare me to their past teachers. I need some peace and quiet, but as I write, Tehani is sitting on my back, squirming, and disturbing my peace with her requests that I dance with her.
I just want to get some sleep right about now. BUT! I have to put a lesson together for tomorrow.
Here goes…
