teaching....

This Monday is going to be the third week then I`m teaching. On the first day, I and my colleague Evelina had lessons togerthe,r but we decided that there is no need to work together. We felt quite confident and our mentor said that we were doing good :) So the next day I was working on my own.
Sincerely, I enjoy my practice...It is better that going to university :) of course, it takes some time to prepare, and I feel very tired after the lessons, but on the whole I LIKE IT!
I have 9 and 10- forms students. I was affraid that they could know more than I but.... It`s the second week then I`m working on tenses with my 9 formers...I was a bit asthonished and shocked that they could not differentiate Present Simple from Past Simple even, They are mixing everything. They investigate such tenses as" was went... Have already was gone...etc''. On Thursdays we have grammar classes and pay all attention on tenses because they have difficulty.This week we are going to write the third test from tenses, I hope that they are going to succeed.
If talking about my students, they are very nice teengarers as people. Of course, some of them are indiferent to English classes, some are lazy (only a very small part)...But all of them respect me. If I`m talking seriously ,they sit calmly and listen. They always call me teacher, and say goodbye after the lesson. Also, they say that they like me the way I`m teaching. One day my mentor was away and I was discusing with them. What do they want from me? What they expect? What they don`t like? And they say don`t worry, we like your lessons :) So now I feel much better.
Also, last week I had my first valid lesson and I got 10. I feel that my mentor trusts me. Sometimes she leaves the classroom and I`m working on my own.
If talking about the number of lessons,so I have quite enough.... One week I have 12 lessons, the other 9. Because I and Evelina are sharing one class. One week I`m teaching that class, the other she is...Besides, I and Evelina communicate all the time. If we have gap lesson, we attend one another`s lesson. During that lesson we correct each other`s classes tests. Also, we talk every day and share what we have done with each class.We try to work alike. Also, we are preparing the tests together as well.
What is more, we had olympiadic last week. I and Evelina prepared the task, observed the event and corrected all works. It was olympiadic for nine- formers.
So that`s all for this time. I feel very good at school and wait for Monday to meet my students :)
