After the information session, but before the storm


There are a lot of emotions running through my mind right now. As we get closer to our first visit to the school. I am anxious to see the class and how they interact with each other. This visit will help us to determine which children are outgoing and which ones are shy. I am nervous to speak in Spanish because I feel like the students will be better at Spanish than me. However after reviewing the materials I feel confident if I prepare thoroughly I will be fine in the classroom. I am also excited to meet my teacher, it is also very nerve wrecking because I do not know what to expect.  I do like that we get to go and see the classroom before going to have to work there, because we can map out where we do our activities and where we can hang our posters. I am also excited to interact with the students, I feel like I have a personality that meshes well with young children, because I am a child at heart. I like that they are always enthusiastic about everything and that they are honest all the time. With all my positives I am extremely nervous to start this project, and will need to practice my Spanish a lot before entering the classroom.
