Today was the first day of classes. They're done finally! The kids, as you can imagine, are crazy being back at school and were asking from 8am on if it was time to go home yet. The kids have drastically varying levels of English knowledge... much greater than I had expected to find. There are about 14 kids in each class. We were missing a few today which is apparently to be expected. I taught Math and Language Arts today... and by taught I mean... well ... we did some ice breakers and played some math games... didn't get into the material at all. We still don't have the language arts or math books for the students. Absolutely ridiculous. My room is kinda messy. The kids bring materials to leave in the room... There are a lot of bags of stuff in my room that I'll have to sort out once the kids have gone. There are 11 minutes until class is officially dismissed for the day.
Anyways, time to plan etc. for the rest of the week. I am so hot in my uniform, as soon as the kids leave this shirt is coming off!!!

Hi Allison, Sounds like you're going to have an adventure! Our school starts tomorrow (Tues). We only have the fire dept. coming around to check that we only have stuff on 20% of the walls. No worries about facial hair, yet. You mentioned a music teacher. I'd be interested to know what/if any kind of materials she has. I guess we should all be thankful that we have so much. We're supposed to be using more technology this year, so this is my first attempt at a blog! Whatever happens, I'm sure you'll learn just as much as your students this year. Hope the next hurricane isn't going to hit there. Stock up on the pina colada's.....Kelly
