this is my life.

yup. we are jump roping. in our apartment. this fun lasted quite some time, even got a little double dutch action going as well.

some more highlights from this past week at school:

I told my students that they needed to be on their best behavior when my supervisor comes in to evaluate me so that I can look like a great teacher, to which they replied "why do you need to be evaluated, youre a such a great teacher!"

my student mayra told me that she has learned so much since I have started teaching her class

taught my students about Romanticism and compared music today to music during that time period. We listened to music and talked about how it is expressing emotion--just like during the Romantic period. While listening to music my students and I sang and danced. my favorite moment was when everyone was singing and swaying their hands back and forth.

we watched a clip of Nicholas Nickleby to discuss realism, after the clip everyone was asking for more. i must be doing something right.

My students asked me to do The Jerk (youtube it for those that dont know what it is) They didnt believe me that I could do it. So i gave them a little tease and did two steps. Three of the boys bowed their arms down to my while everyone was freaking out over it.

Two of my favorite students said today that they only came to school today to come to my class because it is so fun and they really like it. victory points for ms. robins

this probably takes the cake. found out on friday that two boys in the AP class stole my phone and got my cell phone number. they think they are so smooth.

if you want more updates or more in detail. you will just have to call me to find out more about my exciting life.
