I needed to have a good afternoon with my fourth grade volleyball girls...because today in the classroom left much to be desired.
Mondays are rough, coming off the weekend and all. And I felt prepared...but things just didn't go right, from the SMARTBoard sound not working to the computer going slow (and not allowing me to show videos) to a few other minor things that seemed to add up. We got through it, but it wasn't pretty.
Volleyball, on the other hand, was quite fun. We had practice first, mostly practicing serving and bumping. And then we played - and won! - our first game of the season. The parents have been super supportive so far, and the girls have great attitudes. It is truly a pleasure to be their coach.
So, as far as the classroom goes...here's hoping for a better day tomorrow. :)
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
