I got woken up again by a text at 6am asking if I could cover the days lessons again as the teacher was still off sick (I had set my alarm for 7am just in case) I got to school for 8am and the teacher had emailed me the lesson plans for double English, math, science and social studies. The day started off ok but there was one child who was acting up a bit (I thought there would be as this particular child needs structure and routine) the morning went ok although one child (the new student that started on Monday) was 15 minutes late to the lesson because they “didn’t feel like coming in” after playtime which was frustrating.
I had the rest of my subway sandwich with me today for lunch which made a nice change from rice and slop! After lunch I had math and science, but the project of making a book about tigers for International Day (this Friday) wasn't finished so we spent the lesson finishing that and then social studies was spent practising the tiger poem that they are performing on International day. It was a very long day and I have barely had a minute to do anything so I will be so glad when the teacher returns tomorrow as I haven’t done any planning for my own lessons on Thursday!
After school Doreenda and I went for dumplings and back to my apartment to make her a toga out of a bedsheet as her classes country is Greece. I have borrowed a sari off one of the teachers as my class has got India although I haven’t decided what to wear under it yet! I am quite excited about International day, I love fancy dress!
