9th grade tours

This past week has been our 9th grade tours.While this is going on you don't have a chance to teach anything.When one gruop leaves your room another group is filing in.Although all of my classes were good, it was still very hectic.One bright spot in the tours was a student in my second block class.Last year I ask a first year automotive student to speak to the freshman and he did a good Job.This year he is still in my class, so I ask him if he would tell the freshman about the class again.He did and again done a wonderful job.I really didn't have to do much during those tours.On another note :The thing that I would suggest to a new teacher is to expect things to turn out different than you have planned,be very flexible with your lesson plans.Sometimes the most well thought out classes turn into a bust.Also,don't take anything a student says personal just try to see it from their perspective.then take the appropriate action.
