Yesterday was our "back to school" day for our Spanish classes. We spent several hours on Sunday reviewing all of the material so we would be prepared. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for us to forget what we know and get confused about the new stuff. We keep telling ourselves that everyone who learns a new language must feel the same way . . . but since we are the only people in the class we have no way to confirm it.
Today we met with Roxana Mendoza, principal of New Life Christian School, to discuss our teaching schedule. We mistakenly thought that school started yesterday, instead it starts next week. We will be working with 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students three days a week in the afternoon. Our schedule is 45 minutes each with 1st and 2nd grade and 30 minutes with 3rd grade on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Lesson plans are "due" on Monday of each week--reminds me of past life. :-) Roxana said that the 3rd graders will be a challenge; the class has 3 girls and 10 boys! I'm praying that my years of rearing two boys will be of help!
Stay tuned as I'm sure this experience will produce some interesting blog topics!
Ten 3rd grade boys! How do you say "your hands will be full" in spanish? :)
