I never pictured myself as the teacher type. I am not the most patient person in the world. I did have fun home schooling my kids, when they did what they were supposed to any way, but other people's kids? Well, it is time for me to learn a new skill. I am going to be a teacher! Wow, it is weird seeing that in print. I will be teaching computers at the elementary school for a couple of months until the real teacher can get back. This is just as a volunteer. I am also volunteering at the high school and will be teaching computer diagnostics and repairs. Seems like a lot and I am feeling a little overwhelmed. It started out with me volunteering to make sure the elementary school's computer lab was up and running for school. Simple enough. Then the high school asked if I would be willing to teach an elective class. One hour a week, actually sounds fun, ok. Then I went to the elementary school to work on their computers and the principal said that the computer teacher wouldn't be back until the end of October, and could I please fill in for her until she comes back? Three days a week, Standards 4, 5 and 6. How can you say no to kids?! I couldn't. So, I am now a volunteer teacher four days a week. I am excited and terrified! I will keep you updated, provided the kids don't kill me...
You have nothing to fear. You are the most capable person I have ever known. Of-course I may be a bit predjudice. Hey just make learning fun or rather show them that learning is fun.
