So today was my first day of school and it turned out that I didn't have to teach. Last week my mentor teacher told me that I would have class at 1:30 and by 2:30 I watched all the students leave and started to think maybe something was up. Either way, I go in the rest of the week to do lesson plans and then I will start on Monday.
My day started out being picked up by my mentor teacher at 8am. She drove me to school and showed me where the bus stop is so that I can use that from now on. There was a First Grade class ceremony to welcome them into the school. The older kids played ocarinas and drums. Then the new teachers were introduced, including me.
Shortly after was lunch, and the first and health teachers came to get me to come to lunch. They were really nice. I spent the rest of the day waiting for kids to come in for class and when I realized they weren't coming, I asked whoever I could find in the teacher's lounge what was going on. They told me I will start teaching next week but I can come and work on lesson plans in the meantime. I suspect that that really means I SHOULD come and do lesson plans for the rest of the week. I guess it's not as bad as sleeping at home, but, I don't necessarily need to come in at 8am.

are you going to use the plans you already made up for dr. koh? c: i found that a lot of my plans are kind of... further along than what i need now.
I'm not even entirely sure yet. I'm going to do introductions with them all next week. Some fourth graders came in to say hi and play around during recess and they couldn't tell me their grade until I counted up for them.
