Second post for this week!!!!

Well today I filmed myself teaching and what I notice is that I repeat to the students what I want them to do. Not because the students don't do it but by habit I repeat my directions over and over.
But it's funny how you repeat yourself and their is always someone in the class that still does not hear the directions. They can be looking at you right in the mouth and still ask what did you say. You must have patience with the students which I do I just laugh inside and keep it going. I really enjoy my job you have to enjoy what you do or it will tear you apart life is too short not to enjoy, live and laugh.

We have to have so much patience with teaching...I have 3 level one classes and I have to repeat 3 times daily...in addition to the ones who never listen on the first time around...but I love it because it helps me figure out the different learning curves, and since I am challenge oriented this keeps me excited...as weird as that may sound...:)
