Why I'm not a Grade 7 teacher

So, for my work, I sometimes do classroom presentations on topics such as career exploration, resumes, etc.
Well, on Thursday I started a series of presentations in one of the grade 7 classes. Oh my. Were we ever like that? There were 15 kids to start off with--by the middle of the class, half of them had gotten kicked out (well, some left on their own). And I ended up being left with a bunch of little boys very interested in the topic of bodily functions.
They probably were largely just testing me (thankfully, the teacher was still in the room--substitute teachers, I have a tremendous amount of respect for you!)so hopefully it'll go better next week--cause I have 5 more classes with them!
I've had experience teaching older students and adults but this was my first stint teaching adolescents. Definitely a learning experience for me. Hopefully I can get something together for Monday that will suit this class (games, games, and more games).


Por mi trabajo, aveces voy a los classes para hacer lecturas sobre careras, encontrand trabajo, etc.
Bueno, el jueves fui a una classe en el 7 grado. Wow--era asi cuando tenia sus edades? Hubo 15 estudiantes al principio--y al fin, solo hubo 8 porque los otros estuvieron muy malo. Y al fin, solo hubo ninos, hablando de los funciones del cuerpo.
Probablemente estuvieron asi porque estoy nuevo (gracias a Dios, el maestro se quedo en las classe--tengo mucho respecto por los substitutos!). Espero que se van mejor en la proxima semana--porque tengo 5 classes mas con este classe!
He tenido experiencia enseniendo personnes sobre la edad de 15 pero nunca de este edad. Definitivamente, voy a apprender mucho. Ojala puedo prepara una clase por lunes que es interesante y divertido por ellos (juegos, juegos, y juegos!)
