El Primer Dia

So today we pretty much introduced ourselves to the classes we'll be teaching. Darcia teaches 9 classes from grade 7 through 11. She teaches social studies, literature and sociology. I teach 11 classes (am I not the lucky one) from grades 5 through 10. I teach Bible, literature and economics. It was kind of a rough day but surprisingly neither of us were really nervous teaching. Maybe we're cut out for this we'll see. We need to remember is not to speak Spanish with the kids since the goal is for them to perfect their English and learn the content of the course. It gets a little difficult when most, if not all the administrators speak Spanish only. :) So you can go from a class that speaks only English then into the teachers lounge and everyone's speaking Spanish. Gets quite interesting balancing the two.
