I teach eighth grade math. I live in Illinois. I volunteer at a non-for-profit agency on the weekends with my family.
I prefer language arts to math. I enjoy reading before bed. I volunteer and sell comics at comic con. I role play at comic con with friends.
I graded some student math tests. Were they up to standard or must try harder? I think overall they did a pretty good job! Some of the kids are natural mathematicians. For others, it comes a little harder, but they excel in other studies like English or Art, kind of like you! I just can't deal withat whole 12345 counting thing. Words are where we're at. So, no dunderheads in your class? Haha I completely understand. No, no dunderheads, but I do have a couple of young boys who like to cause trouble. Passing notes, and talking during class time. Boys who cause trouble make up 90 per cent of the people at comiccon. I'm sure they do! Are you going to be there again this year? Of course. Tell your 8th graders to look out for Bat Girl this spring. Oh I will! I think I've seen a couple Marvel comics in their desks, but I'm sure they would love to branch out!
