I like being Michelle Teacher

So I've had two days of work. This is pretty much it. I've got it and I think I can handle it. Mon-Fri from 9:30-1:30 I have Kinder I teach Phonics, Language Arts, Math and Conversation. MWF at 3:30 I have older kids (they are about 10.) and I teach course book which is building their vocab and introducing them grammar and stuff like that. MWF at 4:30 I teach younger kids (they are about 8) and I teach course book for them to. Then on TTH at 4:30 I teach older kids (about 10) Science. I enjoy teaching the little ones they kinders are very cute. I have three students in my class and we are called the Bambi class. Alice and Chloe started in the middle of the semister. They know what I am saying and know some of things I am teaching but for the most part they are pretty low. Daniel has never been to school before. He doesn't know any english. He does what the girls do, so he is pretty good.

I do like all my other co-workers expect I can see I will have issues with Mike. He was talking about what they can and can't do speaking wise and how songs are two fast they won't be able to get or the words are to hard. However, I feel different. I believe children will preform at the level the teachers expect them to preform. He was also talking about how the school expect us to do too much. That we can't plan for everything and we have to much do. He says this as he is playing an online game. I was about to say something but I didn't I just walked out of the room. He does things that are some bad for the kids. He talks loudly to them. It bothers me because volume doesn't effect their abilitly to understand. He also pauses between each word. Big pet peeve of mine. That doesn't make it easier to understand and nobody in the real world talks that way. I feel it is counterproductive to their learning english. I know that someday all this will come out. I just hope that it comes out nicely.

Lastly I'm very excited. Fridays no formal teaching ever. We go field trips, we do cooking, and science, we do arts and crafts. We also watch movies and then talk about what we liked. I've have my first field trip on Friday we are going to place called the English village. I can't wait to go. Tomorrow I may not bog. I was told that the park has a light show at seven when it isn't raining, so if it isn't raining I'm going to the light show instead of blogging. That park makes it very hard to work sometimes it is across the street and it calls my name to come and enjoy it, but I have to stay at work.

So things to pray for:
Alice, Chloe, and Daniel
Jessica is working on the papers for my visa, things seem to be going well and there no problems
That I will be nice to Mike when all those things come out.
I'm still not use to the time change I get really tired around 4pm which is about midnight back home.
That I will have the courage and say the right things to improve this school. They need someone who knows about kinder education.

I have an mailing address if you would like send me an e-mail or a message and I will give it to you. I don't want to post it.
