Like being thrown in the deep end of the pool without a lifesaver! Wow, 3 SUNY students and I were introduced to this class of about 30 6th graders--all by ourselves, for about 2-1/2 hours. Thinking on our feet how to teach English to them. We're exhausted--well, at least I am. Our first impression from our brief visit here last year held true today--it is very noisy. Boisterous, lots of shouting, and with the windows and doors always open to let air through, there is also a lot of noise from outside. What an experience!
