WEDNESDAYS

Wow so I didn't do so well on my challenge. I guess I have a bit of an excuse in the fact that I got sick that week, and never picked it back up again.

So now since it has been over a month later, I will pick up with my Wednesdays.


Wednesdays are my lighter days, which is kind of nice considering Tuesdays are so crazy. On Wednesdays I have homeroom at 7:30 with the 6th graders as we do every morning. The class is growing on me. It is taking me a little bit to get use to teaching middle schoolers, but I think God is helping me in that department. After homeroom I have some time to do some planning for the next week and enter grades into my computer for classes. I then have 9th grade from 9:15 to 10:40. Today I was teaching them different types of frisbee throws. I then taught them how to play ultimate frisbee. It took a little bit for them to completely understand it, but after they got it most of them seemed to enjoy it.

I then have another break, which I now have decided to use as time to work on curriculum. I have been tasked to start coming up with curriculum maps so I am planning on trying to do that as much as possible in my free time on Wednesdays. At 12:50 till 2:15 I teach an 11th and 12th grade elective class. Today we were doing some more things with speedball. We played outside for half of the class, but the sun was too instense to stay out for the entire class period. The rest of the class we played indoor speedball.

On Wednesdays after school we have a staff meeting. Each week a different teacher is in charge of leading a devotional time and prayer. We then split into meetings for the elementary and the secondary to cover the business end of things. Last week it was my turn to do the devotional. I decided to talk about trust, since that is something that has been on my mind alot lately. I had one of the staff members do the trust fall and then talked a little about how God calls us to not only trust him in the big things, but also the smaller things of life. He may also call us to trust him in ways that we don't expect.

My day is then officially over. I usually try to go for a run on Wednesday afternoons, since my evenings tend to be fairly open. I plan on leaving school shortly and going for a nice run this evening.
