Observing & Training

Hello All,

Well training is going great. We are doing a lot more observing now and the kids love seeing our new faces around the school. There was actually a boy in one of the classes today that lived in Atlanta for awhile so he was pretty excited to hear that I was also from Atlanta. We got our schedules today and I got an awesome schedule. I teach Pre-K in the morning consisting of Reading, Speaking, Vocabulary, Gym, Health, Activity (Art), Library/Media and Learning Centers (controlled house-playing/role playing). Then I have a chunk of planning in the middle of the day and Lunch. I then finish up the day with Elementary kids. I will have 2nd & 3rd grades Reading, Grammar, Writing, Science, & Vocabulary. I then have a dinner snack and either go home some days or teach some more after dinner. It works out that Monday & Wednesday my hours are 9-7:30 and Tuesday, Thursday & Friday 9-6, but like I said before a lot of that is planning! Last night all the Pre-K teachers went out for what they call a floor dinner, which we do once a month where they give us money to all go out to dinner (kind of like a team builder). We went to a Galbi restaurant, which is where you cook your meat in front of you. I put some pictures on facebook if you want to check it out. I found out whose apartment I will be taking over in the next week or so and thankfully the girl leaving said she would leave me some things in the apartment so I would not have to buy them and she said it is one of the bigger ones so that is exciting. I guess it will be worth the wait in this hotel room! Well its been a long day so I think I will be getting ready for bed early tonight!
