First Day of Classes
Today is the first day of classes at Future Heir Bi-Lingual School. I teach 1st grade. I have 17 students in the morning and 18 students in the afternoon. When they are not with me they with their Chinese teacher getting the Chinese education.
I'm nervous and excited. Today and tomorrow are the only "free" days when rules and habits are introduced and enforced. Critical days. I just want to have fun with them while teaching but first the rules and boundaries and expectations must be established.
I've never taught first grade before but from other teachers and from my books and lessons at UH I really think that they want to be told what and how to do basic things.
Whew, I've thought it out and have a class rules power point ready. I also have a name game planned and of course we'll practice getting into lines and out of lines. Still, I'm nervous. What I do today affects the rest of the year. What will I forget, and go "oh shit!"?
