They spelled his name Mr. PutmanYeah yeah yeah, I know it's been months since I last posted anything, but I haven't really had anything very exciting to blog about. So I was really trying to spare anyone who actually reads our blog any boring posts. I recently went to Tyler's school though and just happen to bring my camera, so I thought I'd share a few pics of his classroom. He's really done a good job of setting everything up, especially considering they didn't really give him very good chairs or music stands. Tyler and his dad (I helped a little) built a bunch of their own guitar stands so that the kids guitars weren't falling down all over. I think they turned out pretty good.
I wish Tyler would write a post so he could explain exactly how his first year teaching is going. From what he tells me though, it sounds like he's finally starting to get the hang of it. He teaches beginning guitar and general music, and by far he enjoys teaching the guitar classes more. He's brought home some of the kids tests and assignments to grade, and sometimes I'll help him. It's pretty hilarious what the kids write for some of their answers.
I've been looking into getting my alternative route to licensure, which basically means I could start teaching a subject now and then have three years to get my teaching license. I would love to teach P.E. or health since that's my degree but since teachers in those subjects aren't in high demand I would probably have to opt for Biology or another science class. I'll let you know how that goes.
