Day 3

My first class was at 8:55am today- I met my 3rd grade 8 class. I get to the door and there is a buzz because they are whispering amongst themselves about "the new teacher"-- I walk in ready to introduce myself and they start clapping. I smiled but I tried to avoid showing them I am really a poptart. I greet them and start telling them my rules. After each I make sure they understand and they affirm.
They are super smart; they talk a lot though- sometimes because they are translating to their classmates what I am saying and other times just because they are kids and like to talk. It was useful though because sometimes I was teaching them about "Like" (I like, he likes, etc) so I would say "Drew likes to talk"--- "He likes to talk" and they would laugh and repeat it.

My next class is at 4pm and then I am done. So after today, I would have met all my students and tomorrow and Friday will be repeat classes....stay tuned

So I met the last grade 9 class and they are very sweet as well. I am going to the other teachers class because the students told their teachers that I need to come and meet them. They are super sweet.
