Evening in November

I really didn't know what to title this blog entry. I was thinking of saying, "It's time for an update," but I decided to do a different take on a popular Christmas song and switch it around. You know the song"I'm so glad we're here together on this evening in December..." So I hope it is evening when you read this because it is evening while I am writing it at this moment.

Things have been going pretty good for me. I am in my third/fourth week of my second placement. I think I've gotten adjusted to everything now. It's still pretty new, but I am really coming to terms with the type of teacher I want to become based on the type of person I am. It's funny it took me long to figure this out, but you just got to be who you are when you teach instead of what they want you to be. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean I won't try to incorporate things that benefit the students. I will just conduct the classroom and lessons in a way that fits my style and personality (which I do have :-D).

My 9th grade Life-group is going well. We're doing a study on Andy Stanley's, "The Greatest Question Ever." Do you want to know what it is? The Greatest question ever is this:

What is the wise thing to do?

The book's premise is that if you ask this question, it will dramatically change your process of decision making. The good thing this year is that I have a co-leader who is teaching every other week so with all the stuff I am doing, I won't get too bogged down.

Well, I best be going. I hope you all have a great rest of the day!
