What to do when you don't know what to do.

There is a poster up in my classroom that says "What to do when you don't know what to do" it has a list of things student's can do if they finish their work, reading, or whatever before the other students. Today I was sitting in my classroom grading papers and I was feeling defeated. It's only the first week of school and my kids are barely passing. What am I doing wrong?? I help them as much as I possibly can and I am moving as slow as possible. I love my kids and I think they are brilliant, don't get me wrong I just don't know how to bring that brilliance out. In America education is the focus of our kids, here it is not.
So what do I do when I don't know what to do??? I give the kids a nice list but there is no list for the  teacher. I put my head down on my desk and pleaded with God to give me wisdom and creativity to teach my kids. I know most of you might be thinking come on Macy you are teaching Health, Physical Science, and PE those aren't hard classes but they are. These kids have no idea what goes on in their body or what happens to their body when they use drugs or drink or anything else, they have no idea what it means to take care of your body because they don't know that the things they do mess their body up permanently. Physical Science is the basis for Chemistry and Physics. If they learn the basics now maybe Chemistry and Physics will be more fun and easier for them later! PE, these kids have no idea what it means to workout or exercise and I am here representing a healthy person to be there example and they actually see me as their example. I asked my students to give me one person they thought was healthy and was their health and fitness role model and over half of them put me.
I have a big job to do, but I'm ready for the challenge. I always wondered why God gave me a love for medicine but no desire to be a nurse or doctor or why he gave a brain that is so health/ medical oriented, I have found the reason. I'm ready to give these kids the random abundance of health and medical knowledge God decided to give me.
Bring on the new week!
