Discipline~~

I'm horrible at discipline. Maybe it's because I'm new at teaching but I'm probably more scared of the kids than they are scared of me. I can't hold a straight face and constantly laugh at their antics. I see my co-teachers glare at their students and scream at them...and I didn't think I could do it. But I did!

The semester is pretty much over so I played a movie yesterday. I've always had trouble controlling the kids because I can't get them to quiet down and they don't really listen to me. I finally yelled at the kids and it actually worked. Probably because I don't really get serious normally so they thought I was really pissed. I wouldn't have yelled if they didn't start some arm-wrestling tournament right in front me -__-;;

During the movie one of the kids was listening to his MP3 so I went over and told him to put it away or I'd take it away. He didn't understand me and he asked his friend what I was saying. His friend promptly says in Korean, "She says she's going to get her friends to come and beat you up." I almost cracked up but my co-teacher came over and started lecturing them. That was a good save because I really wanted to laugh.

My kids are too funny. I got a look at the yearbook and it was so much better than my middle school yearbook. They even get to write personal messages...many of which are hilarious. I have to post some up on here later.

Anyways ~~ Thanks for reading!

I did a Valentine's lesson today....so Happy Valentine's Day!
