First day of school...

It was organized chaos as all first days are everywhere. The students are great! My 7th graders are quite cute clear up to the seniors who are a lot of fun to talk with. It's going to be a lot of work, but very fun to teach here!

What I'm teaching : English 7, 8 & 10 all lower English proficiency and some truly ESL
U.S. History 11 and U.S. Government 12. So, I have all grades but 9 and about 50 students all together. It's an iteresting schedule with some block classes (2 periods together) and some singles and every day is different, but throughout the week in all different combinations and times, each class meets for 5 periods. We also have some after school activities and Friday afternoon periods are for organized sports, so there's lots going on and tons to do =)

There's a Mozart concert in Seoul tonight where one of our staff is playing with the grad students at a university there. I'm reisisting the urge to stay home and try to get more ready for school instead of doing the active/social thing and going to the concert. I'll let you know how it all comes out =)
