First Day of School...kind of

Since I've been here, I've had about 2 months worth of training. This included learning new curriculum for about 6 different levels of proficiency, observing other teachers and practice teaching in a variety of classes for elementary kids. Today, however, was all me. Well, kind of.
There were people supporting me (and the other new teachers) left and right. They kept checking in and helping us with the kids. The day is done and I'm totally wiped out.  Mentally fried. To give you an example here's a quick story. We (the teachers) wave goodbye to the students as the buses leave. I was waving at a bus, it left and no other buses were behind it. However, I kept smiling and waving at random people in cars passing by. Thankfully my friend Ally noticed and rescued me. Thanks Ally!
This week has been tough and a lot has been thrown at me that I didn't anticipate. I think I'm really going to like this job, since I do already, but it will take time to get into my groove. Prayers lifted up would be appreciated.  My students seem to be good so far. No major problems occurred as a result of me. That, in and of itself, is success in my book.
The day ended as it should....with a congratulatory dinner at the local Mc Donald's. It was my first time going there since moving here, and I must say, it was amazing.  I'll be back!
