I can't believe it finally happened after a week of Orientation, staff meetings and long days in the classroom-today we had our first day of school! Being a half day it was pretty crazy in the 2nd grade classroom. We saluted the New Mexico flag, sang songs, did brain exercises, played with clay and filled the desks with brand new text books and I measured and weighed the kids. No one cried when their Moms left which is BIG! Also, we got another 2 students in the morning making our full count, 12! 4 girls, 8 boys.....oh snap. The kids were amazed at how far across the map of the U.S. I came from.
Emily and I had a great first day overall and are thinking we can handle the rest! Tomorrow we're going to a Feast Day after school to watch the Native Americans dance and sing, then we are going to a families home to have a traditional dinner! So excited =) P.s. I had a green chili, guacamole cheeseburger at a little restaraunt here called El Parisol.....delicious. Green chiles are where its at.
