first day of teaching

So Monday was meetings and organizational stuff, like new office desks, so today (Tuesday) was the first day of real teaching. It went well. I am very pleased, my students are funny and sweet and I hope that I can challenge them and be a positive addition to their lives. It is a bit challenging as the levels of English vary vastly by class. I see three groups of freshmen every day (9a1, 9a2, and 9a3). They are all in the bilingual program and the 2s and 3s are really good. The 1s no almost zero English so they are going to be a real challenge. The 9c2 I taught today are a little rowdy but fun. That class goes from zero english to a basic understanding. Whew. This is going to be interesting. I'll only see the 9c and 9b twice a week and the 10b and 10c once a week each. Basically I'm teaching 21 hours a week.
The thing about these 9a kids is this year for them is crazy hard! They take 30 hours of school a week, 20 of those are English. Holy moly. I can't even imagine. And since the ones speak very little English and I speak zero Hungarian, its going to be a challenge.
That's all I can report on today as I am quite tired and still need to lesson plan for tomorrow.
I'll be praying for you and ask that you pray for my students.
hugs and misses, em
