So my title is in Arabic, I guess. That's how you know I'm typing from school. I'll use this as reflection to gather speed for the work ahead of me. Some things went well. My first LA and my second SS went quite well.

There are a lot of whiners in my last class. Geez. Do some teachers actually capitulate when students whine? That wouldn't be a good lesson. That's not the one I'm teaching.

I definitely could have run my last class more effectively. When kids whine, I should ignore them or write their name on the board. I need to cut my instruction time down-- it's simply too much for most of them. And, I need to come up with a set amount of time for each segment of my class and stick with it. And, apparently I need to give vocabulary and tests to them. I've been focusing on grammar and reading.

I three meetings today: one before school and two during my planning.

Man. Must grade papers and plan.
