First Day of School, First Day of School, First Day of School!

Today was the first day of Spring classes. It was a lot of fun to meet the students today and start classes. I am happy to finally be here and do what I was hired for... To teach. It feels right.

Today I taught English Comprehension for two different class levels. I did similar activities in the classes, and with different approaches. It was interesting to observe the differences between the classes from the activities. The pictures are from today's classes. We played a variation of the game "Spoons." I used pens instead. I had sentences printed and glued on some cards, and students had to find a matching pair. As the students understood the game better after a few tries, they were really getting into it.

Yes, I did assign homework on the first day. Not everyone had their textbooks, and we will start it on Tuesday. I assigned vocabulary words from an article for one class, and the other class gets to choose five words they do no know from the books they started reading today. Now we'll find out if they do it by Tuesday's class!
