My First Official Classes

Well, I definitely got what I asked for in regards to my teaching position.

My first class was with 5 year olds who don't speak any English at all.  So, for 2 hours I sang, danced, gave high fives, and threw a ball around in order to teach them hello, my name is..., red, blue, green and yellow.  I will find out Sunday if anything stuck. I asked one of my classroom angels (teaching assistants who keep the kids in line) how I did.  She patted me on the shoulder and said you tried so hard.  LMAO. Needless to say, I was sweating and exhausted.   But I felt challenged to make the next class better.

My second class was rowdy 8 year olds who are high intermediate speakers.  Which basically means they can mouth off in English now.  Seriously though,  it was a good class and went a little more smoothly than the first one.  However,  I still have loads of improvements to make.

I am up for the challenge!!!!

Initially, I only had 4 in class hours on Sundays.   Today, I was assigned 2 more classes (4 hours) on Saturdays so that was good.  Hopefully more will come my way in the next few weeks.
