First Week Down

Hey everyone
Well, I finished the first week of school, though it wasn´t a full week. It went really well except the schedule is still being worked out and that caused some frustration yesterday, but I love the kids and the staff is really great too. It´s a big school, about 200 students, which takes 5 big busses up the hill and down every day. We get on the bus around 7 and the kids go home at 3, but the teachers stay until four and then take our own bus into town, which gives us more time to plan, etc.
This week I didn´t do too much actual teaching with formal lessons, that starts next week. But my kids are a lot of fun, for the most part. These kids are very well behaved, respectful, and really listen when I´m talking! Like nothing I´ve ever experienced!
I teach English to second grade every morning from 8 until 9.45. From 9.45 to 10.15 is recess, the longest recess I´ve ever had in my teaching experience. From 10.15 until 12 I teach english to one first grade class. Lunch is from 12 to 12.40, also the longest lunch i´ve ever had. The hot lunch is brought in everyday by one lady who makes it all, and it´s always good and a good variety. From 12.40 until about 3 I teach English to the other first grade class, and i´m with my second graders the last 5 minutes to help them clean up and walk to the bus.
It was a great first week and I´m excited to enjoy going to work everyday!
