It was another busy week in the Jensen household. Josh was busy with his classwork, preparing and teaching his class (Grammar and Morphology), webwork, and meeting one of the syntax faculty candidates at UTA.
I had an interesting teaching week…it was the third week in the 6 week grading period, and I’m convinced that my three worst classes in the school are scheduled during week 3 – back-to-back. I had my first classroom fight between two 4th grade boys, met the school policeman, and had my first parent/teacher/principal conference. I’m learning a lot at Cochran Elementary School, and I know the Lord is using the school to teach me dependence on wisdom from above. The most hilarious episode of the teaching week was the teacher’s assistant sub who kept telling the bilingual Pre-K class to “andale” when they were leaving my classroom.
Wednesday night we had Micah and Anna over for dinner. It was great to fellowship with them. Friday night, Josh and I went to a park, then went grocery shopping, and ended the night by making chocolate chip cookies. Sunday, we had a church fellowship, including pizza and games.
So, there’s a short glimpse into our week. We’re looking forward to this coming week – teaching and studying.
Busy week, looks like! Sorry about the classroom fight. Just think of all the stories you’ll have to tell your kids someday! Hope this week goes better in the classroom!
I LOVED all of the pictures!!! Thank you for the update. Love you lots. Are the pictures of the students the “trouble” classes. It would be nice to pray for them by name if it is.
No….I haven’t been able to take pictures of my rough classes. 🙂
