In one week back to school takes on an entirely new meaning for me. Back to school will soon mean back to work. I'll have to set down my Pina Colada, my mouse, and the remote control. This September on the day after labour day, I'll be assistant teaching junior kindergarten. I'll try to update this blog as often as I can in between the nightmares that are soon to come. I guess this is the start of the chronicling of my teaching career.
I visited the school today and I had such a different vibe than the one I got from the other school I visited. The other school I'm referring to is the one that had a principal who asked me if I was there for ESL classes. When I got to this school the secretary asked me if I was here for the interview. I told her I was here because I was going to student teach soon and I was thinking of meeting up with the teacher. The teacher wasn't in but she introduced me to the other kindergarten teacher who showed me around and gave me some advice. She explained how the teacher probably wouldn't have much time to talk to me in between the babies crying (damn cry babies) and the parents nagging. She said that after a little while it gets really fun. She said fun. This school seems much more laid back then the military-like atmosphere of the other one. I have a good feeling about this, but then again I always have good feelings about lottery tickets too....
