Student teaching! Oy Vey!

So I have survived a full week of student teaching! My school is a VERY diverse school...and I love it! I am now student teaching for two teachers. We will call big D for theater and big N for math. They are almost completely opposite of each other and yet pretty similar too. D is this kooky 60 something year old theater teacher/performer/owner of community theater. She is tired of kids and has flat out told me that she hates them! Lol! But from observing her the last week I can tell she enjoys this job and is just sick of those punk kids who love to push her buttons! Which I think I can understand! Most students respect and sometimes fear her enough that they don't cause problems but there are those few who just drive her crazy! She teaches two acting and two tech classes and she told me that she wants me to teach the tech classes. I think I am going to teach sound design to the tech classes because she said they don't know anything about it and that is what I have the most experience in.

I am going to be teaching pre-algebra to freshmen with Ms. N. I just met her today so I don't have much to report but some of my theater kids told me that she is awesome and a really good teacher, in fact one kid said that she was her favorite teacher ever! So I am excited to work with her!

So funny thing of the day: one of the students said that she is going to use my name (Ms. Mutz) for a cat that she will have when she is old...I was like thaaanks???
