Yesterday was trying. Im really afraid of the next four months. Most of all IF we don't get everything settled in the first 2 weeks. I have gym and it is so hard. Some of the kids know quite a bit of English and others know none at all! It is hard to compensate for everyone! I even had to name a kid because he didn't have an English name. He didn't speak a lick of English either. So I'm pretty sure in each class or rotation he got a different name from the ILP teachers. My home class was really good but when we switched some of those kids were Wild!!! Apparently not as much as Russian kids. Kim says these kids are like angels compared to the kids she taught in Russia. Which is understandable. They were better than expected but still, kids. One kid said butt in Chinese to me and then another one did too and they were laughing but then told me what it was and I just gave them disapproving looks and said, that's not good. Oh children. I'm excited to teach again today. Can you tell??
