Freshman Initiation!

Another week under my belt! Things are chugging right along! The freshman classes are getting better! We have moved into a topic that I am way more comfortable in, which is making my teaching much more natural, and the student's definitely seem to be enjoying it much more as well. We have moved from Career Prep to Animal Science! I am getting better at managing both the freshman classes. I have noticed that each class has their very own unique dynamic. The first class is more behaved, but not as social. Trying to have group discussions and an interactive class with them is difficult. The second section is almost reversed. They tend to be quite rowdy, but when able to successfully manage and direct the energy, the class discussions are fantastic and they are very willing to participate! I look forward to the more lessons these two classes will teach me.

We all know that each chapter does things there own way. Coming from my own ag program, I already have my own views of how I've seen things done. My home chapter gave out there Greenhand degree's at our Chapter Banquet at the end of the school year. Here in Albion, they give them out now at there own Greenhand Meeting. I was looking forward to this meeting, and it was quite nice! Definitely something to consider in my own future program. It gave me a chance to be social with parents and other local supporters! I also got to say the Adviser part of opening ceremonies, so check that off my list!
