So, yesterday was my first day in kindergarten! I had fun. As soon as I walked into my mentor teacher [MT]'s classroom, she started telling my all about her students. Its crazy how much you can learn about your student within one day of school with them. We have a handful of students who are repeating kinder, but that's okay! They have an idea what is expected of them this time around. My MT and I didn't have much of a chance to talk since it the first week of school and all teacher are required to be outside thirty minutes before school starts. So, at around 8:30, we head outside. My teacher is very well liked! She had students running up to her giving her hugs and telling her about their first day of school. (Yesterday was their second day.) It was exciting. Then, the bell rang and we went into the classroom. We all sat together on the floor and that's when I got a really good look at my students. They are all so unique and so precious! I'm excited to teach my lessons, but yet terrified. I have to teach this little ones five lessons, one including a science lesson. I'm really nervous about it. My worry is that I won't be able to simplify my lessons plans enough. I'm so use to talking/teaching to the older students. But, I found a science lesson! It's cool! [I think...] So, I have to talk with my teacher about it. Anyways, we spent the whole day going over routines and procedures and did a little bit of reading. I sat with a couple of the students who need that little extra help. My teacher asked my help a few times and that was so exhilarating! Haha!
Tomorrow is my second day at my school. I'm hoping to get to talk with my teacher a little bit more about all my assignments that are due. Fun fun! :)
