Teaching
today is my first real teaching day. i am going to ps 54, a 50 or so minute commute from my house via two buses. praying i don't get lost in eastern queens. i am going to plan a residency teaching yoga to second graders. the program, LeAp, uses teaching artists and arts classes to teach academics. i'm not quite sure what yoga connects to in the second grade curriculum, but today i find out.
there is a lot of paperwork to do and i'm (finally) getting fingerprinted at the dept of ed. i think this is the only way i could teach anything not at the college level.
however, it dawned on me how much i may love this. and i am contemplating going back to hunter and sorting through my mess by going for a cerfitcation in dance ed. i have the dance stuff done, just a couple of methods classes, stats, and the education classes are available on weekends and nights. so it might happen.
if i can get over my hate for the system.
