3rd grade, two days in a row. It’s a dual language class which I am not qualified for in the slightest but I was told I’d be fine so I guess I’m doing it (my Spanish is alright but I would not say I’m confident enough to teach a class)
They're a nice bunch of kids and were really helpful re: telling me what their teacher normally does and where to find stuff. I would say the biggest challenge areas were "paying attention", "remaining seated" and "not running around the classroom"
That's great, man. Don't worry about your Spanish-- your kids only speak their own languages, English and Spanish, at a third grade level themselves. And you have your special weapon, art, which crosses all language barriers! You're gonna do wonderful.
That sounds like third graders all right. Glad it went okay!
Genuinely so happy to read this after hearing all the bureaucratic shit leading up to the job
Glad you've been able to get to the first day of work part, and also that it went alright!
