New school year, new students, but it feels so different this year.
Probably because I'm not up in front of all my classes, because of the presence of the student-teacher.
It is strange sitting at my desk, grading papers or whisper-chatting with the teacher's aide, and passively observing what she's doing. I'm so used to being the person up front. Odd, that.
And my paper load is down 40%, so my weekends are unusually free right now. It's downright luxurious. I'm actually doing household projects on the weekends.
I'm not complaining, it's all good. Student-teacher is good and doesn't need anything more than a little supervision and guidance as she goes, so that's easy. The lighter load just has me off-balance for the semester. Believe me, I'll adapt!
