I assume that the purpose of a blog is to inform people of your life on a daily basis. With that being said, I realize that it has been almost a week since my last blog. However, on a positive note, nothing of any really significance has happened to me here in Pierre since that last blog.
Today was the first day of school. I walked in to the cafeteria bright and early to see a hundred or so beautiful faces staring at me. It could be the glasses, but more likely it is my whiteness. The day was spent informing students of the do's and do nots of the classroom. We went over every mundane detail in hopes that the students would be able to follow along. One of the positive things about student teaching in the spring is that all of the conditioning is already done (Pavlov had the right idea), and the kids know what to do and when to do it.
Finally, I have decided to include a small section that addresses any humorous/ridiculous comments. For example, today one of the young girls in my class walked up to the lady I teach with, looked at her pregnant stomach and calmly asked, "Are you still with the baby's daddy?" I am sure that there will be plenty of good quotes in the near future. In the meantime, I hope everyone is well. I will speak to you all soon.
