First Day of School

Today was a fun day. What a relief! Jeff prayed for me a lot today and I think that made a difference (I did quite a bit of praying, too). Everything went smoothly. All my materials were in the right place. I had my student teacher there, so she helped me prepare materials. The kids were very quiet. They did their work. They walked quietly in their line. They didn't call out (much). And we got to have some fun.

But there is more work to be done. I need to focus on being firm and consistent with classroom management. I don't have my student's names down yet. I need to get to know them better as the days go by.

To be honest, it's hard to blog about my students or my class, because of confidentiality concerns. So that is all you get. Sorry, but know that I had a fun day!
