Yesterday, I help organized some worksheets for the teacher and help grade some papers for her. I also saw this new dice with a dice inside of another dice, very neat. One student drew a picture for me but honestly it was the cutest drawing ever. It was spongebob with hair and we went to specials and some students learned ballet.

Sterotypes

Welcome to Spring Woods, not Northbrook, but Spring Woods. When I was younger, I thought our school would be like what we saw on t.v's. With cliques, status, and diversity. But you don't really know how it's like until you actually step foot into a school/organization. Sterotyping is not really a big issue, or as bad as how it seems on tv. For instance, on tv, all the cheerleaders look snobby, rude, and think they're on top of the world. As in Sping Woods, it makes no difference if you're a cheerleader and only like 3 people on the team tries to act like we're in that fantasy world. The football players are suppose to be "jocks" and on top on the food chain but really, it's not that big of a deal if you're dating one. I mean, it's not like we're the best team in this state. I feel like everyone at school gets along, doesn't matter if you're wealthy or poor. This is just, the enviroment of our school. But if we were to go to another school, like Memorial, I definitely would not fit it. There's actually something like a pyramid there and that you have to be a jock or something super important to make it there. At our school, anyone can fit in. :)

Part 1
If I was in the autotorium, I would have tried to keep my class together and make sure they follow me around so we wouldn't get seperated. And if we were to get seperated, I would try to make sure they meet at a certain place. I would've tried to keep them calm and have them walk to a certain location.

Part 2
Yesterday was also a great day. The moment I walked in the class their faced lit up and most likely, I'll never get tired of it.They were a bit upset when I left class early because they wanted me to go to specials with them. Also, they were talking about seeing  me at a basketball game on Wednesday and they were excited that they saw me. I have no regrets for choosing to spend my second sememster to the same class. Also, that one student that I told you about earlier is starting to count his numbers out, in english! Yay.

Yesterday, was a great first day. The moment I walked into the classroom, the students had a flashing white smile and a face of excitement. That was honestly the greatest feeling ever. They had taken their benchmarks the day before and needed my help to show them what the did wrong. The teacher also told me that the students got really excited when they learned that I was coming in on Thursday. Overall, yesterday was a very great day. Also we got a new studfent that does not speak English and I bet it's hard to adapt to new things and environment.
