1/2 way through Day 1

Oh. my. goodness. I'm on lunch break. Can I stay in my cube??? 2 classes down, 4 to go. 5th grade, first class. Teaching 8 high schoolers at Institute did not prepare me for 35 kids who don't understand the language I'm speaking. Chaos. Utter chaos. How do you manage 35 kids? There aren't even that many desks in the room! We were overflowing with children. It wasn't a total wreck........ but definitely not orderly.

4th grade was better. They comply. Still chaotic.

I have kindergarten after lunch. Then 1st grade. Then 2nd. Then 3rd.

Oh.

My.

Goodness.

Thanks for your support. I'll write more tonight.
