I've been spending a lot of my days student teaching lately, mostly speaking in English. In fact, in the past two weeks, I've only taught for one half day in Spanish. And guess what? Today, when I subbed for a kindergarten class in Spanish, I totally sucked. (Pardon the non-teacher language.) I couldn't even understand what some of them were saying! Now granted, kindergarteners can be very random and hard to understand, but seriously?!? And when I spoke, I was making all kinds of weird mistakes - things I haven't done for quite a while.
SO FRUSTRATING!!!
I have applied for a long-term bilingual grade 1 sub position, and interviewed for it last week. I still haven't heard anything, but I don't have a good feeling about my chances. And after today, maybe that's for the best. Maybe teaching in Spanish is just too darn hard for me. Maybe teaching in English is plenty hard enough. Maybe I just need to give up on the whole bilingual license idea...
