What are you teaching exactly?

Many of you have probably been wondering to yourself, lying in bed night after night thinking "What exactly is Chelsea teaching...?" Well here is my complete and hopefully final schedule, although it does not include things like Marking the grade 4's journal entries once a week (21 and poorly written :S), editing other teacher's worksheets and quizzes to help them with their grammar, lesson planning and marking my own student's work; which is what any teacher has to do. My classes include so far grade 6 science, social studies, language arts and writing. Grade 4 writing and language arts. Grade7 writing and language arts. Grade 9 science and Grade 10 science. Not too much, lol. Then there are also a few remedials which involves 1-on-1 or 1-on-2 tutoring. I like these sessions the best, the kids are interesting in a smaller group and its nice to be able to go over things that you know is going over their head during class. I am still not sure how I feel about being a teacher... Its great sometimes like during grade 6 science class when the kids are so interested in the subject and I have a lot of the answers, and then its not so great in subjects like grade 7 writing when kids are handing in plagiarized Wikipedia articles as their own writing or I am trying to explain grammar or mechanics of the English language that I don't really understand myself.....
