The first week at school was an interesting one... the first day being Halloween was a tough one, mainly because my AT was away. She told me it was because her son was sick; however I believe it was because she lost a challenge with her class resulting in her having to wear a chicken costume designed by the students at a school wide assembly. Not being one to rescind on a challenge (more so a bet), and since I really didn’t want to disappoint anyone on my first day. Not only did I wear the chicken costume in front of the entire class I also did the chicken dance for what seemed like 15 minutes straight. It was a nice way to break the ice with the staff and students on my first day.
At first I was a little apprehensive about having to travel over an hour to get to my school, but after spending a week here with the staff and students I really don’t mind it at all. The kids are super fun to be around, they can be challenging at times, but can’t we all.
So far I have done a couple of lessons with them if you are curious about any of them let me know. They are:
-4 health lessons (I find dividing the time between the class and gym makes them more receptive to health)
-2 double period art lessons
-1 drama lesson
(and tried co-teaching a little bit with language and math)
Having started week 2, i already have some interesting stories for post number 2
