Check! Another First Week of School Down

I just finished my first week of school. This year I’m teaching 15 energetic second graders. My day involves a lot of wiggly children, some tattling, enthusiastic learning, loud voices (I need to work on that one stat), and hugs all day long. The latter is a novelty for me because I’m used to teaching older kids – they usually don’t pass out affection for free. Anyway, my class is very diverse. I have students representing: Sierra Leone, Spain, The Congo, Germany, Belgium, Nigeria, The Gambia, Burundi, America, Japan, and Paraguay. Most of my students speak 2-3 languages, and they are quite the adorable bunch!
