Today was my official first day of school. I had one class for one hour. It went okay. The students are understandably timid when it comes to speaking English. I only had 5 students in this class. The way it works is that the English teachers have full classes and they break them up and I meet with them in groups. Class started out today with one girl asking if she could leave early for music class and one of the guys asked if he could go to the nurse because his throat hurt. I naturally told them both "no" and I'm sure that they will get over it. They only seemed to warm up to me when at the end of class I showed them my website. Everyone was pretty impressed and one of the guys asked if he could buy an Obama shirt from me.
I'm supposed to start at the middle school next Monday. I will keep you posted. In the meantime, here are some photos of the high school that I work at.
