Unbelievably, I finished another "first" day of school. If you just count the years I was teaching and/or working for the school district and not the years that I went to school myself, this was my 36th "first" day of school. There's always a lot of last minute things to do and this year was no different. I wasn't able to pick up my new books until last Friday and we had a very busy first weekend back in El Salvador. Unfortunately, I wanted until Sunday evening to get started on my planning. We had a giant storm and our power went out around 9:30 p.m. so that was it for the night. I planned to get up early and print some handouts; I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and the power was back on so I thought I was in good shape. However, the power went back off at 6:30 a.m. and was still off when I left for school at 8:45!
Instead of handouts, we had the typical "what did you do on your summer vacation" question and answer time. This takes quite awhile because the kids have to try to answer the question in English. They were happy to see pictures of what I did on my vacation, including shots from our time in Antigua and California.
Tonight . . . printing handouts!
