Gardening Class
Well, I taught my first community gardening class, last night! I think it went really well. It started off looking really bad. I wasn't familiar with the high school where it was being held, so I parked and went into what looked like part of the school. It was actually the parks and recreation building. I then had to walk over and try to find the door. I did find it and then I got lucky and saw some people that weren't high school kids and followed them. I finally made it there, but I was winded from all the running around and stairs. Plus, my bag was really heavy, since I packed it without testing its weight. Okay, so I got to the classroom and it was arranged really strangely. It is a photography room, so there were odd pictures all over the walls. At least for me, it wasn't really set up to teach. I had a hard time figuring out the best way to arrange myself so that I could teach effectively. I had to walk from one section of the room to another. I didn't really liike having to ignore a part of the class no matter what I did. Other than the weird classroom, I think things went quite well. I had a really good time and they asked lots of questions, which is what I was hoping for. I am looking forward to nest week!!
