After spending my entire Sunday decorating
my classrooms…yes I do have more than one… I went home, had a beverage, and
prepared myself for the fact that I have indeed, become a teacher.
I did pretty darn well for not having our
class’ schedule until 7am and having my assistant only a little exhausted after
she and her family drove from the coast just this morning at 4am! I have eight
beautiful and smart 3 year olds, all of whom had my assistant as their teacher
last year, so they know her well. I convinced most of them to call me Ms.
Morley or some variation thereof instead of “teacher”. I also taught many of
them how to count to 5, though I’m not sure they understand what that actually
means! I had 3 hours of prep today, which I used very well as I didn’t have
most of my curriculum or planning available until Sunday when I found the class
outlines and the Understanding by Design models used by our school.
So I survived. No crying from the kids
during the day, only a few spills, and most of them actually listened to me!
Here are a few pictures of the school grounds and of the drive from Puerto la Cruz to Anaco.
Elementary classrooms...my writing classroom is just a little further down
