“Hey Now, You’re an All Star!”

For the past few days I have been attending workshops with the other English teachers before the start of the school year. I know it’s hard to believe but I have yet to start teaching in the classroom as a volunteer. School starts on Tuesday February 15th. I am pretty nervous about it. I have basically been waiting for School to start but now that it is finally here, I am nervous!

For our workshops, all the different disciplines are split into different classrooms. So I have workshops with only the English teachers. At the workshops, there are English teachers from all the surrounding schools, so I was meeting a lot of the teachers for the first time . So the first day of the workshop I was basically the most popular kid in school. Everyone wanted to know everything about me and ask me questions and the definitions of words. I would be talking to one person and then someone else across the room would interrupt and ask another question. Then another person would invite me to their house for lunch. It was pretty crazy, although I felt pretty special. It was like I was the most popular kid in school! The group of teachers that I will be working with are really nice and they all seem like they enjoy their jobs. I am looking forward to helping them in anyway that I can.

I am also in the process of starting a community English class. This will be a class for people who aren’t currently studying English but want to learn. This will be a more informal class in the evenings I think. This class will be a lot smaller than the other classes so that should be nice. I am nervous about that class too! I just want to do well! Needless to say I am going to be really busy!

Well that’s all for now, I know I will have many stories once school starts. Wish me luck!
