The Kindergarten teachers told us we were getting a motley crew this year, I just didn't expect what I got. I have only taught school for 5 years so I can't say I've seen it all, but this many students who seem to not understand our class rules is unreal!
I feel like my entire afternoon class just doesn't understand. Period. It seems they don't understand Spanish or English; they probably do, but it felt like today they didn't. I know, I know! It's only the first day but I don't remember any other first days being like this.
Silvia and I thought it would be a good idea to get the two classes together and go over the rules of first grade all together! Yeah, bad idea! It took FOREVER and so I couldn't teach my morning class anything. UGH!
It will get better, but until then the days will be long. :)
