Well so the worst part is over, so I hope. Today was the first day of school which was not too bad of a day for me, for the most part. The day started with waiting for the bus and then ending up taking a car, (which I am going to car share on). Once at school I spent a little time working on getting things ready for my classroom, mainly a few copies that I needed.
So the day started with the 1st grade party which was so much fun to watch. The students gathered in the hall or gym, and where given small gifts and a backpack. The students played games in the gym and were able to mingle with the other students. After that had wrapped the students when on a tour of the school to show them where the different classes where and where they could find different teachers. We end the tour at the Canteen (Cafeteria). After that the students got a small break to eat and relax.
Once the break was over the students and parents headed to my room, where I was to work with them for the rest of the afternoon. I will be honest I had not planned for that, so I quick ran through the getting to know you activities that I brought. They went pretty well, however they went really fast. So I was then lucky enough to get saved by my PMA, who brought in some center that we have in the resource room. So we set up five centers around my room. This was a great help, the time seemed to pass much fast with this being done. After a few hours of this the students where then taken to get their books. After that it was time for them to head home. So I will say I am very tired after my first day of class, but I think I have a better idea of what to do tomorrow with the students, and hopefully for the rest of the week with them.
