Day 3 and photos

Welcome to Second Grade!



The back of the classroom:



My very own white board:



Yes, I am a real teacher



The dinosaur-resembling moth that perched itself on my door:



My last two days have been much better than the first. Today was better than yesterday. I am getting used to waking up at 5am to get to school on time, learning what kinds of activities second graders are interested in, and what methods of discipline seem to work. Let me just say though, that disciplining these second graders is one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. I had one absolutely adorable little boy sobbing today behind my door because I had to reprimand him (for fighting in the hallway!). It breaks my heart! I am trying to be tough Kirsty for now, so that they behave a little bit. My students aren't unruly, exactly...but they are very full of energy and not that good at listening to directions. But I adore them. I don't want to put pictures of them up on this blog, but maybe on my facebook page. Stay tuned :)
