Well here I go again embarking on another adventure…I arrived here in Seoul, South Korea a week ago today. Today was my first official day of teaching at Bambini and it went as smooth as I could have expected. My homeroom students, which are a class of eight, are new comers to Bambini so my day consisted of a 30 min orientation and a quick hand out of binders and schedules to the parents. I co-teach with three other teachers and we each have our core subjects, mine is math and science (shocking, I know). Unlike today, we generally rotate the four classes amongst the four teachers so that each class gets forty minutes with each subject. Since my class, the Cedar class, was on a different schedule for today we skipped out on rotation and the other three teachers spent the day getting to know there homeroom students and went over the class rules and behavior chart.
For the afternoon we felt it would be good idea to get all the other students together to do a project so that we could acquaint ourselves with the other students and the students could acquaint themselves with us. Since I was told this morning that I wasn’t having my children at all I offered to do the project I planned for my students with all the other students since I had already put the time and thought into it. We gathered the other three classes together and had each of the students write there name, favorite animal and then draw a picture of that animal .To introduce the project each of the teachers including myself introduced ourselves and shared with the class our favorite animal and explained briefly why we picked this particular animal. After the students finished with there project the school day was basically over and this thus completed mine and the students first day of school. Although I can’t say I got a full grasp of everything since I spent no time at all with my students, I will say, I look forward to tomorrow.
