I am done with my first full week of teaching and as far as I can tell it was a success. It is totally different than teaching in the states. The students are amazing! They do everything I say without question, everyone has their homework complete, they don't talk and they are excited to learn. It is more work than I ever though it would be. Probably one of my hardest first weeks to get used to.
The language difference is interesting. I have found that they all just no their heads even if they don't understand so I really have to be observant, which can be difficult for me :) I think I am going to love it. Next week the students are going to have their first dance and I can not wait to chaperone. It starts at 6:30 and is over by 9:00, not a bad job to have.
I am getting used to everything around here and even gaining an appreciation for tofu...who would have thought that could taste good? I am craving a good ol American cheeseburger though.
glad you had a good first week!!! many more great weeks to come!! xoxo
