Wow what a busy few weeks it has been! I have officially started school and I am into my third week with my class. Here is a little update on what is going on: I am teaching two K4 VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten) classes this year. I have 15 in the morning (along with a teacher’s aide) and five in the afternoon (with just me). It has been a “culture shock” time…you know how when you go to a different country you have to get used to the stuff there….WELL…K4 is a much different world that K5. Some of my students have not been to a school environment before, been away from home, or has come from a daycare setting to a classroom setting.
The first week of school it was all my class can do to walk in two lines. It was funny to watch them because the girls were in the boys line the boys in the girls line…some of them were tripping over each other. Then FINALLY at the end of the week they came out the classroom door in two lines!
There were times I had to take the child and tell the parent to go ahead and go while the child cried and the parent left with a worried expression…I have no idea how many times I said “He will be fine go ahead and go.” I would give the student a big hug and tell them it would be okay.
I am enjoying my class—we have had our laughs and my students has made be smile or laugh. Currently,we are learning about the days of creation, some of our vowels, counting, cutting (“no don’t cut that!” when they begin cutting their clothes or themselves), how to color correctly and write. It sure has been an adventure within its self. =)
I am thankful for each student the Lord has put in my class to minister to. I hope and pray that each student sees Christ in me during the school year! =)
