I know I havent written is awhile. This blog thing is hard to keep up! Anywho, I have been busy with setting up the classroom and getting ready for the first day. It was long and hard work. I did not realize how much planning, organizing, and designing it took to get the year ready! The first week has been an overall success, only two kids cried. And they have cried everyday since....Amongst the crying kids we have 22 students (the largest class in the school) In general they are amazing. Many are very smart and since it is a military school most of them can speak more than one langauge. My teacher is pretty unorthadox. His classroom is like a stage and he is the crazy actor who is always putting a show on for the kids. He wants the kids to keep moving around. We sing/dance/read/write/ and most of important thing we do is creating a hands on science muesum with the kids. They are the most excited about that because they get to plan how make it and what goes in it
Last Saturday I traveled around Heidelberg. It is such a beautiful town. The center of the town is called Bismark Plaza and it is a road that stretches for miles that has shops, resturaunts, and more shops. Im in heaven because they have H&M! I will try not to spend all my money there! We did the tourist thing and visited some very old churches and checked out the Heidelberg Castle. All amazing. Im learning the transit system slowely....needless to say I missed the stop for our home and had to walk a quarter mile in farmland/highway. Well I must go and get some rest!
