Day 3: My feet hurt and I'm tired.
6 hours of lecture today. My feet hurt and my hands are already drying up because of the chalk. I have to say that I actually enjoyed the day. I am a little surprised at the pace required to teach these kids - I keep thinking that it will take only minutes to go over certain topics, but then it ends up taking a lot longer.
It was the first day for the kids in elementary school (this school goes from pre-school to Grade 11). It was total mayhem - I was 5 minutes late to my first class because I had to park about 1 mile from the school and walk, walk, walk, climb the 4 floors to finally make it to the classroom.
The great thing about being a teacher is that teachers don't line up for food - they get to walk right up in front of the gazillion kids in line and order. I can get used to that. I'll have to remember to do this ONLY in the school caf though...
This post is short for a few reasons, including the fact that I am pooped, that I need to prepare some biology material for tomorrow AND prepare for 2 hours of technology.
